“If you show somebody a piece of your work and you ask them 'What do you think?', they will probably say it's okay because they don't want to offend you.
Next time, instead of asking if it's right, ask them what's wrong.
They may not say what you want to hear, but the chances are they will give you truthful criticism.”
― Paul Arden

Critical friends are very important to continuous improvement, learning, and innovation. 
Critical because they provide thoughtful, truthful critique of what is wrong, or what can be improved.
Friends because they are deeply committed to your success and the success of your work.
Provide feedback to others how you would like them to do for you.

Now You: Are you a critical friend?
