If you are
scared regarding what people will say, if you will be grieve hearing negative
things about what you are doing positively to succeed, then listen to what Aristotle
have to say about that. “Criticism is something we can avoid easily by
saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.” Maybe you will prefer the
last option “being nothing” over their criticism. No one is interested in
talking good or bad of someone who have nothing to offer. Thank God they are
talking about you; it’s one of the yardsticks to measure up.
You have the
choice to prove them wrong or right. Those who say you can’t do it might be
right when you waste most of your time trying to explain or argue with them. If
they belittle you in public just because they think you are nothing and can’t
amount to anything, the best way to give it to them is to prove them wrong by
achieving it anyway.
“You can’t let
praise or criticism gets to you. It’s a weakness to get caught up in either
one.” says John Wooden. Criticism and praise are both double edge sword, be careful
how you use it, it can work in your favour or against you. Eleanor Roosevelt,
the great American politician, diplomat, activist and longest-serving First
Lady of the United States advice, “Do what you feel in your heart to be right –
for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you
don’t.” So consider that.
