Constructive Feedback

Hello friends, I am very grateful that this year is still given the opportunity to meet Ramadan again. The month for me as a Muslim is a special month, not only because this month is full of blessings, but also because this month always provides valuable moments every year. Besides that,  Ramadan is also a month where we can improve our personality by doing a lot of self-introspection and getting used to positive activities.

Talking about self-introspection, of course, we will look for and assess ourselves, especially looking for our shortcomings so that we can correct these shortcomings. If we look at ourselves, we will be more inclined to see the advantages and it is difficult to find the disadvantages. Therefore, assessment or feedback from others is very important as material for introspection.

One of the most memorable feedbacks for me was when I ran a research proposal seminar where I submitted a research proposal that I would do for my master's assignment. after I conveyed the examiners and supervisors gave a lot of feedback. they told me that I should be more confident, work harder, and better understand the basics of the research to be carried out. I realized that at that time there were indeed many shortcomings in my seminar, and all feedback from examiners and supervisors was very objective with what I showed. From the feedback, then I try to improve it and develop every aspect that becomes the material for correction. 

We don't have to accept all feedback, because thinking too much about feedback can also cause overthinking. We can filter out which feedback is constructive for us to do better.
