Feedback time

Not that I hate feedback, but there is always a tingling sensation every time my  supervisor sends me an e-mail that says Feedback for a certain duration. I think it is quite normal, and it happens to everyone (or is it just me?)

Every time, I receive feedback, I try to read it through. I try to absorb  as much as I could before plunging in to work. The notes are helpful, by the way, because in writing there is always merit in having someone look in to your work. I just realized that after a feedback, I get too cautious. I sometimes take hours to do what needs to be done when it would have only taken seconds.   I try soooo hard. Is it just me? Is this normal reaction after a feedback and wanting to better one's self any chance I get?


One thing is certain, though, after I have adjusted and tried my best to overcome apparent weaknesses, I will be thankful. Work will be easier because I have learned a new trick or two. Work will be faster because I tried to adjust. Work will be a joy knowing that I am improving every step of the way. I hope that I can learn how to use all these feedback to my advantage; after all, is anything or anyone perfect?
