"El problema de la mayoría de nosotros es que preferiríamos ser arruinados por el elogio que salvados por la crítica"
— Norman Vincent Peale
Simplified Meaning:
We all like to hear nice things about ourselves, but too much praise can make us blind to our faults and stop us from getting better. On the other hand, when someone points out our mistakes, it might hurt, but it helps us improve and grow. For example, if a student always hears from their teachers that they are doing great even when they make mistakes, they might never learn to fix those mistakes. However, if a teacher gently points out where they went wrong, the student can learn from it and get better over time. It's important to listen to helpful feedback, even if it's hard to hear, because it can lead to personal growth and success. Instead of only seeking compliments, we should appreciate people who give us honest advice for our betterment.
