On constructive criticism............................

Matt Walsh, who has figured out how to make a living out of blogging, offers a few suggestions on how to give, and receive, criticism.   Full post is here.  Excerpt here:

I ask that you try an experiment. Just do this for a day. Just one day. Try to go about your day under the following four pretenses: 1) You are not perfect. 2) You could stand to improve in every single facet of your life. 3) People who point out your flaws or critique your actions aren’t necessarily motivated by cruelty, hatred, and animosity. 4) Some people know how to do certain things better than you know how to do them, and you should be grateful if they take the time to offer you guidance and insight into their areas of expertise.
