But the more practice, the more comfortable you become. It was great to hear from you today. I value your input and your time. :-)Jennifer Brown Bankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525705931988259779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-69049776883931512182010-06-22T09:39:32.917-07:002010-06-22T09:39:32.917-07:00Hi Jennifer,

I blame that on my major professor when I was in graduate school. Whenever I receive any critiques, I will take it as a lesson I need. It may hurt for a little bit, but I know it will be helpful.<br /><br />Take care!Evelynhttp://evelynparham.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-32354921322027919882010-06-21T19:24:13.435-07:002010-06-21T19:24:13.435-07:00Karen,

Ironically, (and unfortunately) it's usually those individuals that need the most help that are least receptive to embracing it.<br /><br />Even at my stage, I try to apply what I can, and dismiss what I feel is not valid, when receiving rejections. <br /><br />But, for sure, I'm always at least open to the possibility that there are things that I still need to learn in order to realize my full potential.<br /><br />My mom has always taught me that we should never stop learning. Thanks for your time and your loyal feedback.:-)Jennifer Brown Bankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525705931988259779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-24880126936051187622010-06-21T18:57:50.148-07:002010-06-21T18:57:50.148-07:00Excellent advice.

Sometimes it stings and takes me a bit to process it, but my goal is to improve my writing and to put good things into practice. There's always something to learn, isn't there? Good post, thanks!<br />:) KarenKaren Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.com
