Criticism to some is discouraging, to many others it is very offensive and annoying. Some people lost inspiration because of it, some had even committed suicide as a result of criticism. But for a mind willing to learn and grow, criticism afterall isn’t a bad thing cause it’d only help one get better. This depends on the type of critics one gets either positive or negative . As you read through , inculcate the habit of learning through criticism.

“Never react emotionally to criticism. Analyze yourself to determine whether it is justified. If it is, correct yourself. Otherwise, go on about your business.” ~ Norman Vincent Peale

You don’t have to take criticism to another level by letting it weigh you down, you only put your best in whatever you do cause you’re not perfect so therefore always be open to the positive energy of criticism which is letting you learn through your mistakes. Most times criticism could be distracting so don’t get confused by taking some blabbing for criticism.... Mide

“Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots.” ~ Frank Howard Clark

Fault finders are everywhere in every area of our lives, at work, on the streets, at church just about anywhere everywhere but the sole purpose of criticism is to improve and help to develop not to destroy or discourage an initiative.... Mide

“To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing and be nothing.” ~ Elbert Hubbard

The best and possible ways to stay completely away from criticism is self isolation, completely cutting oneself off all others or probably a sort of self exile or seize to exist, you don’t wanna do that I know. So learn to adopt criticism as inevitable life process .... Mide

“If criticism is mistaken or mean-spirited, rise above it. Maintain the high ground when you're under fire. No victory is worth winning at the expense of picking up the mud that has been slung at you and throwing it back.” ~ Rubel Shelly

One has got to come to the full understanding of the uniqueness in being and abilities as humans for this will lead to understanding the fact that so many others are jealous of your special ability and possibly them being in higher offices or positions might just want to make one’s life miserable but don’t give in to empty threats as I’d refer to negative criticism, maintain your ground and prove your worth, that silence them all....

“When you are not attached to praise or criticism, an interesting freedom is yours.” ~ Kute Blackson

Imagine a world of deaf and dumb where your opinions if not could be demonstrated remains inside of you. Imagine no one is able to unnecessarily say you’re doing the wrong thing when you’re actually not wrong, imagine your criticizing boss would stop, I know you’d be very comfortable even without his praises. Program your system to store praises in other to compliment negative criticism when it comes.... Mide
