Feedback Thoughts

I think mindset can have a huge impact on how one takes criticism, and whether they incorporate the criticism or reject/downplay it. 

In A fixed mindset could be holding you back — here's how to change it they mention how growth mindset extends past school and into the workforce. This speaks to me as an aspiring engineer because I will constantly have to deal with new technology and adapt to changing environments.  Being able to implement criticism and do a better job makes you a better employee and reduces stress when dealing with similar problems.

In When Your Toughest Conversations Are the Ones You Have with Yourself the author talks about how exceptionally driven people deal with a hypercritical inner voice. I think that kind of self doubt can be constructive, but it is also quite daunting to deal with.  If you can separate yourself from the self-criticism and understand it in a vacuum, then you might be able to apply it constructively to improve performance.
