Because of my job position I have to correct people everyday and because of it, they like to find reasons to correct me. Most of the time people get very defensive when you point out what they are doing wrong and what they need to do to fix it. I try to control my defensiveness now because of one of my favorite scriptures. "And ye have murmured because he hath been plain unto you. Ye say that he hath used sharpness; ye say that he hath been angry with you; but behold, his sharpness was the sharpness of the power of the word of God, which was in him; and that which ye call anger was the truth, according to that which is in God, which he could not restrain, manifesting boldly concerning your iniquities." (2 Nephi 1:26) I try to think about this scripture anytime I receive criticism, constructive or not.
