You have to lift a person up before you can really put them in their place.

Is constructive criticism really constructive? Not really. You can't make a child better by pointing out what you think is wrong with him or her. Criticism either crushes spirit or elicits defensiveness. Constructive criticism is an interesting combination of words. "Construct" means "to build." "Criticism" means "to tear down" It creates defiance and anger as well.

Constructive criticism is good but from the right people and not from any Tom, Dick and Harry.

A pure heart does not demean the spirit of an individual, it, instead, compels the individual to examine his spirit.

I do not take constructive criticism from people who have never constructed anything.

With no positivity, there is no hope; with no negativity, there is no improvement.
