Critical thinking sounds like a dispassionate process but it can engage emotions and even passionate responses. This should not surprise us when we consider that reasoning requires us to decide between opposing points of view. In particular, we may not like evidence that contradicts our own opinions or beliefs. If the evidence points in a direction that is unexpected and challenging, that can rouse unexpected feelings of anger, frustration or anxiety.

The academic world traditionally likes to consider itself as logical and immune to emotions, so if feelings do emerge, this can be especially difficult. Being able to manage your emotions under such circumstances is a useful skill. If you can remain calm, and present your reasons logically, you will be better able to argue your point of view in a convincing way.

So remember, we as the professional, academician or not we criticize the work, not who deliver the work, not your personality. Be open and accept these critical analyses….to become better in whatever you do.  The professionals never have any grudge against the subjects that we critics, done our job in providing these critics, they you go we close the book and everything resume as usual.
