Some people are in the habit of criticizing others - even for trifling mistakes. Criticizing with a view to finding fault is not good – it hurts the self-esteem of the other person. When a person is hurt, he never learns; he gets into the defensive mode.
Pointing out mistakes with the intention of making the person improve is OK, provided of course, the other person perceives it as such - positively. However, if he views it negatively, it would only result in eroding his self-esteem.
Most people, who are in the habit of criticizing even for small errors, never think of complimenting a person, even for jobs well done. If you do not compliment excellence, you should not comment on shoddiness also.
Never let go an opportunity to complement people for their accomplishments, however, trifling they are. There is nothing like a compliment to raise one’s self esteem.
The next thought is about “If you want to gain something, you must be prepared to lose something else”.
