They just haven’t grown enough,they lack self discipline.
Some even have no genuine reason to being that way,they re just hooked into the energy others bring forth
they still might not believe it’s peer pressure,but 2 years from now (hopefully), they will look at their reactions and realize how being negative have messed up and hindered a lot from them.
When they eventually grow, even if it’s by mistake,they’ll realize that with their attitude;
-
They can’t lead or be a good leader.
-
They can’t work with a team
-
They can’t establish real connections
-
They can’t grow
-
They can’t make a good sales person
-
They can’t create things people will regard (what you give out is what you receive)
I understand @sugabelly is trying to say that the “criticism” is the hook model which succeeded in making radar something ,well,it’s like a porn site, it will keep some type of people in,and kick some other kind of people out (The right kind of people),This is not a critics forum,i can’t even remember what it is anymore but if it was a rotten_tomatoes for tech and startups,then it should be that on an officially level like ive pointed out before ,than having newbies ambushed with hip of reactions which constitute a negativity bias,something complained of too often is not cool anymore, you guys are over doing the whole toughness thing
This is not the military home , if you re a coder and you’ve used stack-overflow ,you will know what really encourages higher standards.
Bashing at people’s ideas or notions or products might encourage some, but the higher percentage would experience the opposite effect.
But think about this,if some one brings an idea or whatever and we have smarties on radar politely suggesting “smarter and better ways” to achieve it,BOY! no one needs to tell the OP to edify himself, in fact he/she would have already gotten his first round of edification from the smart suggestions , if he doesn’t feel outdated or poorly informed on his own to know he needs to aim for higher standards,then it’s his problem.
no body is begging for cute treatments ,we re just asking for discipline and matured mentality. this is why Nigeria is the way it is.
