Criticism

How To Overcome Criticism

Brian Tracy said, “Almost all unhappiness in life comes from the tendency to blame someone else.”

To the wise man, criticism is good, whether it is constructive or destructive. In other words, criticism has an intrinsic quality.

“Most of us would be upset if we were accused of being silly, but silly comes from the old English word ‘seilig’ and it’s literal definition is ‘to be blessed, happy, healthy and prosperous.” Zig Ziglar.

Never react to criticism, instead response to it. How to response to criticism?

O Ascertain its validity and response accordingly and positively.
O Evaluate the criticism and explain if it is true.
O Don’t get defensive, after all we are not perfect. We care just human.
O Don’t take criticism personally. Focus on what had been said and not on who said it.

“Never letting the competition defines you. Instead, you have to define yourself based on a point of view you care deeply about.” Tom Chappel.

“If people like you they’ll listen to you, but if they trust you they’ll do business with you.” Zig Ziglar.
