Its benchmarks are stored in the granary of our mind and crucial evaluations for the future cannot be made without consulting the archive of our memory.

Don't ever dismiss it, listen to what it has to say. Life will never be close enough to perfect, and listening to that voice means stepping outside of yourself and considering your own wrongdoings and flaws.","author":"Ashly Lorenzana","tags":["evaluation","flaws","introspection","life","perfection","self-awareness","self-reflection"],"id":77119,"author_id":"Ashly+Lorenzana"},{"text":"In (hyper-loyal) cultures, loyalty is so highly prized that it covers a multitude of leadership sins. I’ve seen numerous bad leaders cover their ineptitude by stressing the importance of loyalty over competence. They teach that loyalty is more important than excellence and they use that idea to distract the team from their own inability to perform.","author":"Phil Cooke","tags":["evaluation","loyalty","openness"],"id":88746,"author_id":"Phil+Cooke"},{"text":"? Reviews are for readers AND authors. It’s a good way of learning from what people think about the work. Being it good or bad. A book might as well be hurt by a bad, poorly written review. That’s such a pity. Some people don’t know how to express themselves, and maybe that’s why they are just readers and not writers, others read a book like chewing a cupcake. That’s too bad. If that was not your cup of tea, leave it there, untouched. Don’t go bash the author for that. But if you really hate the book, why bother telling others. It’s your problem after all. You can give constructive opinions but don’t blame the author for your different tastes and views. Also authors shouldn’t comment on reviews, it sounds unprofessional, even silly. Some busy writers don’t even have time to read what other people say about their work. If someone enjoyed your book, or not, that is irrelevant. If you will continue or not to write something else it doesn´t add to the plate.. Besides, why bother commenting on a review, just read it and shut up. Being it good or bad. So my opinions about authors commenting on reviews is just my opinions after all!","author":"Ana Claudia Antunes","tags":["approval-of-others","bad-reviews","book-reviews","books","disappointment","evaluating","evaluation","failure-and-success","fiction-writing","nreading","opinions","rates","readers-and-writers","reading-books","reviewed","reviewers","reviews","writers","writing","writing-books","writing-process"],"id":113479,"author_id":"Ana+Claudia+Antunes"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":34,"pages":4,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
