Do you remember the people who criticise you?
Or you care about just the criticism and take corrective measures if you think you can improve?
It’s a “Who Vs. What” question.
Now think about this: if you remember the people who criticise you, your natural inclination will be to win over their hearts and do the things to please them.
When you do something to “please” someone, your act gets biased. Your such act will make you stressful. Is such an act worth practicing? You know the answer.
But if you listen to just the criticism to understand the critic’s point of view, and if you are convinced, take corrective measures for improvement, the scenario changes.
When it comes to dealing with criticism, ‘What’ matters more than ‘Who.’
Don’t think of critics. Fix the act that caused criticism (or ignore it if you don’t care).
Think of people you love … your friends; your family; your kids; your spouse (if you still love her, or him) …
That’s much better use of the most scarce resource you have – your remaining time in this world.
Some people live their lives thinking that they have unlimited time in this world. That’s not true. Your time is limited. Here’re the 7 most common deathbed regrets. Not worth having for sure.
Do something that gives you happiness. Learn from the criticism but to hell with the critics. You better do it!
