Answer:
When I was little, my mama always taught me to be polite. She said it was one of the laws of the universe. That people were sensitive, and defensive and that little girls like me need to grow up knowing how to deal with these people, because they surround us. Some people will be rude, she said; they'll laugh in your face and complain and yell. But you always have to keep an smile on your face, because if you don't, you'll be one of those people. My mama also told me that if you are kind, the universe will reward you. She's always been into the idea of karma, and I always liked the idea of it too. It's a fair system. If you're rude and mean, you don't get very far in life, and if you do you're miserable because you're alone. If you are nice and kind, people will like you, and even when things are tough, you'll always have somebody there for you. And I think that's the best rule someone can have in there life; "Always be kind"
A few years ago I had an English teacher that encouraged "The Oreo Method"; it compares effective constructive criticism to an Oreo cookie.
The filling in the middle was the constructive criticism, but before and after that, you offer positive feedback for the writer.
Pretty self explanatory:
1. Provide one piece of positive feedback first and linger on it for a couple sentences; let them know how important that "thing" is and, in a way, praise them for doing it. This primes them to accept your feedback cause they know how thoroughly you've read and analyzed their work.
2. Offer any and all of the constructive criticism you have; stay subtle and be concise with all your feedback.
3. Offer more positive feedback, as many good things as you can come up with.
By submerging the constructive criticism between positive feedback, you keep their hopes up while still thoroughly conveying weak spots in their work.
I hope this kinda made sense; it's a very self explanatory idea so I had trouble elaborating on it.
