Becoming Better through Criticisms
That you were criticized should not change your mission
You should only change your mistakes
Yet don’t concentrate on the mistakes
If you run every time you make a mistake
You will never accomplish much in life
That in itself is frustrating but avoidable
The real mistake is when you learn nothing from your mistakes
So instead of dwelling on your mistakes, count on making some
Growing wiser and moving on to finish the job.
Remember, 'If you stop every time a dog barks, your road will never end.'
Don't let your failures become roadblocks
Turn them into building blocks, skyscrapers might come from them
My dear friend, grow sharper through criticism.
Spend time with the right people, if you want to realize your worth
Spend your spare time with those who build you up, not tear you down
Quality time with the right people will strengthen your faith
Such time will fortify you against the effects of the worst criticism.
Such company will also keep you from becoming critical of yourself.
You can only soar higher by not joining issues with your critics
When crows attack a hawk, the hawk doesn't counter-attack
Instead, it soars higher and higher in ever widening circles
Till the pests are not able catch up and leave it alone.
Circle above your critics rather than stooping to their level:
'It is to a man's honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel.'
If your attitude is to have any effect on people now or later,
It will be because of your example, not your defensiveness.
Don't be a fool, result is the best answer to your critics
My dear friend, let that criticism bring out a better version of yourself.

Some good observations in your post, Rich, we can choose to react or chose to learn from the criticism that is directed our way.
That second pair of eyes can at times see what we fail to, by making that small change we can lift our game.
Thank you for sharing.
Hi Alex,
Thanks for your comment. That was exactly the point I was making but when you decide to react -do not attack the critics (my suggestion).
Regards,
Rich

Great post!
If criticisms are constructive, they will only help us
to become better.
Have a great day!
