thanks for the advice .... i like this article...

I have a doubt about the criticism part of yours.

I think criticizing NEVER helps. Sometimes people bring innovative things, sometimes they think out of the box and present in front of you things that otherwise seem vague or weird but later those people turn out to be a huge success.

Criticizing is the only reason why so many blossoming flowers never blossom because they give up. 

Sometimes I think what a different world it would be if nobody criticized anybody !!!

Don't you think so?

Flagging someone who is spamming is not criticism. It is harmful and harms people in various ways. People get irritated, they feel their work isn't seen, only used to comment other's links etc.

But criticism is different!! And I think it doesn't help. It spreads only negativity and demotivates people.

nice article ..positiveness give a well grooming and confidence in personality .it helps me a lot.@uwelang thanks..

A downvote or flagging has a relative effect on the receiver or giver. The receiver senses a reason for this and tends to get better which increases their positivity. Also, the giver may have done this due to some sort of negative energies. 
It is best to keep positivity in this world so it can be a better place for all of us

Man soll immer positiv und mit einem Lächeln durchs Leben gehen😊 Dann kommt auch positives zurück👍

Positivity is a natural force of power that’s basically behind hopes. Hopes of good and bad, as you’ve said posivity even in the cruelty of negativity. This are two opposite reactions and when manipulated to be parallel never crosses path. All I’m saying in excess is positivity can work alongside negativity in the same direction and not countering the other one. 

You see another force is greed which only works with negativity cause believe me , greed pushes one to attain at all point. Even through negative means 

You see criticism to me isn’t bad afterall, it is a frank and blunt way of correcting or making things right, of course arguments does occur in the events of criticizing but it only does make you better by knowing more of what you never had a knowledge of. You see this is an example of positivity in a mistakened or assumed negativity

Great inspiring and motivated content..

Hey @uwelang

Nice job, thanks for posting.

This is the second post today I have read about positive attitude. It's a really valid point and at times I really do not understand anyone on here that wants to spread negativity. Fortunately, so far, they are few and far between. 

Things like replying to comments and posts are crucial for spreading good feeling in the community, especially for us newbie minnows. The flagging side of things, again from a Newbie standpoint, is a bit more difficult. It's hard to know where you stand on these things when you first land here and flagging someone feels very negative. Until you understand the lay of the land and the future benefits for the Steemit community as a whole, you kind of back away.

@tressareid posted about general positive attitude and your post is more directly about Steem, both containing great advice. You guys have inspired me to write something from a newbie perspective so I'm going to crack on and give it a go.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers, Gaz.

you hit the nail on the head there indeed! good write uwe

I think  a lot of what you have here in this post goes back to our individual intentions for the platform. It's something I did from the very beginning and I try hard to stay within the intentions I set as to how I am going to show up on here. 

My intentions are to create uplifting, empowering and positive content, which I believe I do. But it can be easy to get off tract sometimes and get caught up in conflict of views or the drama of the platform. (not that I've had too much experience with that here)

This post also speaks transparency to me, which is one of the major things I love about this platform. I think people's true colours are highlighted and it's a beautiful thing. 

Thanks for these perspectives today :)

good post

This is really amazing post about positivity @uwelang thanx for the nice post 👍😊

Sir @uwelang really you have described the real themes of a social platform like your experience about steemit. Really in steemit community there is a value of power and criticism. We often dependable with each other. Bigger steemians help us as we develop and if make mistake they aware that's the beauty of the platform. Beautiful rules working here which is respectable. Thank you again for the beautiful content sharing with us.

Seriously it is difficult to be 100% happy on this planet, as we have high expectations. But it is not impossible! In our past years we learned how to be happy and how to control our mind or actions.
We need to be positive all the time and hope for the better future. Be patient and never give up. Every successful person gained success after many failures.
 Alone we cant do it, but together we will. So lets work together toward the real success :)

Wahre Worte Uwe, resteemed :-)

I totally agree with you criticism is needed everywhere and can be a constructive way for the evolution of every platform and person

is very Best family

Ha, das ist spannend - ich hatte  gerade gestern eine Idee, die noch etwas reifen muss, weil ich es auch nicht allein machen kann. Ich möchte, wie du so schön schreibst "positive vibes" hier  auf steemit berbreiten und Artikel wöchentlich sammeln, die in irgendeiner Form Positives "transportieren" (Dankbarkeit, Kurator sein. positive (sachliche) Streitkultur, Schöne Fotos/Musik/Geschichten/Kunst/... ins "Netz" stellen) - eine Art Sammelpost für die 10 Posts der Woche oder so und vielleicht auch mit rewards. Dafür suche ich Mitstreiter... Soll ich dich lieber im Discord anschreiben... Jedenfalls halte ich es für wichtig, gerade heute solche "Energien" zu verbreiten... LG Kadna

Indeed positivity is absolutely important for the health of a person and a platform like Steemit.

If we let all the politics, negativity, drama and flag wars get to us we will miss out on the awesome human stories, of the challenges overcomed by humans, of the charity and helpful nature of man as he cares for his fellow man. 

It is not that we are sweeping those under the rug but we are merely focusing more on teh good that platform can do. 

If we want a place that is great and safe for us then we need to create it. Woe is the nation that needs Heroes when its citizens should be it's protectors. 

We are the ones defining this Platform .

I miss the old *"positivity breeds positivity"* TSU vibe! Thanks for bringing up the happy memories @uwelang and for the inspirational post! You have a lovely family -- growing up too fast!😀

You are making such an interesting point. 
Nice one.. With this point one need a readjustment..

Thank you for your positive article!

@uwelang thank you for this post, there should be more people focused on spreading positivity and motivating people to become better.
Our channel started on youtube, but d.Tube and steemit have been the main platforms where we get feedback and constructive criticism, instead of just blind hate or ignorance.
It's nice to know that there are other people focused on this issue. If you'd like to get in touch and maybe collaborate feel free to contact us! :D

Love, Thought Sandwich

"Stay away from simply negative people but also do not call others toxic that try to suggest valuable things. a down vote / flag is maybe negative for the account that receives but can be extremely positive for the community too" <---Yes, thanks for saying this!!! I'm so glad you pointed that out, because when people are SO positive that they pretend everything is perfect, it almost starts to seem delusional and unrelatable lol.

You can still be a positive person while also being realistic. I'm glad you fall into the group of people who are positive yet a realist. 

Thanks for explaining that and educating people about that as well, because I think it needs to be pointed out!
