Feedback Strategies

Feedback Strategies

Feedback is about giving information in a way that encourages the recipient to accept it, reflect on it, learn from it, and hopefully make changes for the better. Being able to give feedback is a skill that is useful in your personal and professional lives. 

The two article that i want to write about are:

Be a mirror and Five Reasons to Stop Saying "Good Job"

Be a mirror

I like the phrase "Be a mirror" as i think it is very catchy phrase. I think being a mirror to someone is to understand and gain their importation information. After knowing their information we then can give feedback on our thoughts about their information or share our own experience. We are not meant to judge them as the mirror job is to reflect back. 

one of the quality feedback is to focus on the process and the work on the reader put in. When we focus on the process. We can show their effort on the work and it is valued and important.

Giving feedback can make plenty of changes in their work such as improving or understanding more of the concept.

Five Reasons to Stop Saying "Good Job"

From reading the article there are topics that i liked reading and want to talk about them.

Losing Interest:

For example of this is when a kid is doing something as painting or drawing.  Stop saying "Good Job" and say "Good painting!" may get children to keep painting for as long as we keep watching and praising. It encourage the children to do well  and to complete on their drawings. 

It is said by Lilian Katz, one of the country’s leading authorities on early childhood education, "once attention is withdrawn, many kids won’t touch the activity again." Indeed, an impressive body of scientific research has shown that the more we reward people for doing something, the more they tend to lose interest in whatever they had to do to get the reward. 

Now the point isn’t to draw, to read, to think, to create – the point is to get the goody, whether it’s an ice cream, a sticker, or a "Good job!"

Be a mirror

The mirror is reflecting/ showing the care to safety path.

Why rejection hurts so much

From my opinion rejection is reality. 

Everyone has been through this stage in life or still going through it right now. Each day there are countless rejections that you get but you don't noticed it such as getting rejected from your Mom just by asking if she can drop you to college today and she replies "No".

 Most of our failures are nothing more than a form of rejection and knowing how to deal with rejection will help you lessen pain and bounce back to your normal emotional state.

I believe the most common rejection is through relationship.

The suffering that comes with this type of rejection is considerably harder than in most other types. Interestingly, many people tend to love and desire those who aren’t as passionate about them. It seems like being rejected or merely fear of being rejected makes us more passionate about what we can’t have, making us suffer even more. Everyone has been through this as for myself. There are many ways to get over rejection. 

These are my ways:

Tell yourself it will go-

 because it really will. Keep reminding yourself that this is only temporary and you may be even thankful for this experience in the future.

Travel-

 New places are always fun to explore and new places will distract our attention from negative thoughts and add excitement to your life.

Learn something new-

Learning a new skill can be challenging; in addition to obvious benefits, it helps us heal by keeping us busy and focused. To make things even better, learning a new skill may help discover new opportunities or meet new people.

Seven ways to crush self-doubt.

From reading the article it made me reflect a lot about my self-doubt in the past.

Every one of us has weaknesses, and so do I, quite many. I believe my greatest fear is thinking i could not do this or i can't do that. There many things i could not do but once i tried and kept going through them, it all seems to be easier. 

Don't compare yourself with others. i was once that guy who compare themselves to other. An example of this is during high-school. There are always going to be people that does something better than you. I compared my grades with other and honestly it made me feel bad about myself and self-defeat. i was feeling down for the rest of the day until i had a new thought in my mind.

Instead of feeling this way, why not try to improve yourself better and do the best you can do and no matter what the results is you can be proud by the effort and work you have put in.
