Pressure

There are many different things that fall under the word of pressure. On a daily basis pressure brings on stress to get good grades in class, make sure all homework is done and you study. With work we feel pressure to get all our job duties done within our scheduled shift. We face peer pressure from others at one point or another in our lives. I think peer pressure never really goes away there is always that one person pressing a certain situation no matter what age you are. It all depends on how you take the pressure some people work great under it or can loose their minds. You can deal with pressure in many ways don't overwhelm yourself, don't wait till the last minute for homework or studying. At work don't horse play get the job done. As for peer pressure that is always a tough one it's not always easy to do the right thing and sometimes we have to make those wrong choices to make us a better person.

Criticism

Criticism is something we all do and have encountered in our lives. It may be in the form of bad criticism or good. I think it all depends on the person receiving it or giving it. There are ways to give criticism diligently and there's plain out harsh and cruel ways. Some people no matter how you give it to them, even if your criticizing with the best intentions just can't handle it. You can't just think of criticism as harsh judgement, rather you can look at it in postive ways. If I'm doing something wrong or not to my full potential it's nice sometimes to have a reality check. Criticism can help you be better at something, it's not always just bad. You can always turn negative into a positive light. It's not always easy hearing judgements passed upon you, but either you can take it and cry about it or do something to change it for the better. How we react determines everything. Criticism can be very beneficial if you react to it that way, it helps mold us into who we will and can become.

“If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.”
