I love negative comments!


Sometimes I fear to say something.
Sometimes I doubt if my comment doesn't look funny.
Sometimes I feel weird for having a different opinion.
Sometimes I feel silly for doing something I want.

These feelings are meaningless.

Growth happens not by crossing the finish line,
but by falling and trying to get back up
.

Well said, Aida's.

I encourage negative comments too but I don't love them

Yeah, I agree it's sometimes uncomfortable to receive them. With this post I wanted to give motivation and spread the positive attitude. Because I believe that almost any uncomfortable situation could lead to learning something new and becoming better at whatever You do. :)

It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation (credit to google btw)
