Sincerity


In the past years I spent a bit of time in online forums. Those were enough to give me an idea of how they work and let me tell you this: it's rare to find an extremely sincere person and those guys have the most valuable opinions.

You will probably hate your first encounters with these guys because they are the ones who have the guts to tell you which parts of the works you show are wrong. They are the ones who notice the parts that could be better and point them out. They are likely to have a whole lot more experience than you and they know of the importance of their sincerity. If you understand what they have to say you'll get better quicker. Trust me.

Good comments made by friends feel awesome but they are not neutral comments because those people want to see you happy and they will always say it looks great. If you can take all these comments in a constructive way you'll grow to a point where you'll be sincere and people will hear you roar. And you'll be right.

Yeah it's true but sometimes it hurts the hell to read some comments.

I guess the dificult part is to understand what it's criticism and what is plain bad and useless information. There are users in all online forums that simply excel in this: looking very critical and professional when in fact they have nothing to add.

Another good post mate! :)
