How Important is ...

[kundalini]

Yes lots of bravado.

I'll go with the short version here.

bra-va-do [bruh-vah-doh]
–noun, plural -does, -dos.
a pretentious, swaggering display of courage.


Encouragement is a key element to spur us on to improve, whether in our chosen profession, self interests or our humanity. The lack of consciously recognizing it does not diminish its affect on us, but may abate the growth process.

This has little to do with self determination and the success/failure ratio as you describe.

I think it is important either way....to give it, or recieve it. Encouragement can always be a positive thing.

I do more graphic design then photography. It always pissed me off when clients would go on and on about one iota of the design they didn't like. Then when the piece is complete they are just like "k, thanks, bye!"

Perhaps in your case I should have simply posted a picture. Too bad you don't tolerate other views. I would suggest college. It can teach one how to hold adult conversations.

Have a blessed evening ;-)

SliverGrow;

You had me at first with the separating wants and needs, etc, but your childish attitude toward those who think other than you do shows how much you probably could have used some encouragement at a critical moment or two somewhere along the line. I encourage you to seek counseling. It may teach you tolerance of others and help you overcome your personality disorder.

Please, post a picture. Show us what you got. Sparkle. Put it out there and we can have a look at what your blind ambition (teared rage?) has spewed forth.

Little man. I'm not your mommy so go whine to someone else. So go off and pout, you needy little monkey-man.

Everyone,

Now that we've successfully captured and pinned a specimen, I suggest we pass it around the room and consider the consequences of not maintaining a healthy balance in our art (as it may be), including encouragement. As it truly takes "all kinds", we'll now be tagging SliverGrow and releasing it back into the wild. Be sure to use the sanitizer and wipe your hands carefully before leaving the thread please.

Hopefully a mod will see this mess and throw out the garbage.

Stop contradicting yourself with those statements. You say encouragement is not important ,but yet you still want "feedback" on points which tell you if your doing something right or not. Which then helps you progress, in essence, is still encouragement.


These type of threads really bring out peoples' true colors, which turns out to be really depressing i this one. Dang it people, come off your plateaus back down to humanity. Its ok to be human.

Let me re-phrase that. My background is far from average, so I view things differently. It is valuable for me to gain a different perspective even though only a few comments may be insightful. I don't necessarily agree with either positive or negative comments. What I value is knowledgeable and well-thought out critique.

Everyone,

At least it's fair and balanced.

Sort of goes back to what I had mentioned in another thread....

"The only thing I will mention that I think would really help , is more visible mods. People who can step in on the attitudes and crap, before the threads go too far. I feel if people want to get into an in depth conversation or heated debate, take it to pms (not p m s ) :lmao: But those threads that contain one of these debates that get started, should be warned before it gets out of hand. Someone to come in and say...quit it now. I know the existing mods try, but with a forum this size, there is a lot of babysitting to do. "

Anyways...I hope they see it too.

Whoa there toughguy... Because of you I trust this once well thought out thread will be closed. Before it is I would like to publicly express my thoughts on your comments.

Are you on glue! Are you human and or have you ever dealt with humans? That kind of ignorant reply makes me think that you are nothing more then a machine made to spew hatred.

Please keep in mind for future use: TPF's strength comes from free flowing ideas. Good bad or indifferent we all (try to) keep an open mind. Clearly you have no interest in that basic concept.

On a personal note. I consider Abraxass a master of photography and above all a friend. **** with him and you **** with the whole trailer park.

No love & Bass to you

Completely uncalled for.

Please check your PM's, thanks.

Hmm...put someone on ignore and reported a post all in one session. What an eventful evening

 

[sabbath999]

I personally couldn't care less about being encouraged by others...

I post my pictures because pictures are supposed to be shown to others... I don't really generally care if people pick or pan them.

Your little game would be funny, if it was not so indicative of more troubling issues in your life. You have my sympathies...
