Hello, everyone! I’m delighted to recommend my favorite book: Journey to the West to you, what is one of the four greatest Chinese classical novel. It was very popular with us Chinese people. The novel, wrote by Wu Cheng’en, is based Xuan Zangs journey to India. The story focuses on Monkey King called Sun Wukong, who helps her master Xuan Zang get over various difficulties on the journey.

    Criticism (批评) is harmful to healthy relationships. It’s okay to express disappointment if someone is behaving in a way that hurts you. 1. The following are some ways to catch criticism before it begins.

2. Before you criticize, pause and consider whether you really need to say anything at all. If someone did something to get on your nerves, would you really need to point it out? Sometimes, it’s best to let small rudeness go Take a few deep breaths and leave the room instead of criticizing.

Be realistic. Critical people often have very high expectations of those around them. Your tendency to criticize may come from expecting too much from others. Sometimes you may find yourself consistently annoyed or disappointed with others. 3.

Separate the individual from their actions. Critical people often focus on the negative aspects of a situation or a person, failing to see good qualities alongside negative ones.
