Do you react when you are criticized? Do you feel angry and betrayed? Do you feel like hitting the critic?
Hold on! Criticism is good for you. What if they are right? What if they are criticizing you with your welfare in mind? It will do you good to rein in your anger and hurt and rationalize on why you are being criticized!
A critic is really your best friend. He holds up the mirror to your faults. He tells you where you fail as a human being. A little reflection on the critic’s words will help you understand why he finds you deficient. It is a golden opportunity to reevaluate and improve.
Nobody is perfect. I am sure you will be the first to admit that you are not perfect! So why get angry when someone points out your imperfections? Take it positively and try to look at yourself from his or her eyes. You will see where you fail and will be able to do something about the failing!
Criticism is positive. Be enriched by it!
