Criticism, like rain, should be gentle
enough to nourish our growth without destroying
our roots. Constructive criticism is about
finding something good and positive to soften
the blow to the real critique of what really
went on. I have learned that the final proof of
greatness lies in being able to endure criticism
without resentment.
I have also learned that criticism is an
opinion and one person’s opinion of us does not

to be become opinion of us. One way to
avoid criticism is to do nothing, say nothing,
or be nothing.
I have always been mindful of the
kindness and not the faults of others; always
trying to accept both compliments and criticism
because it takes both sun and rain for a flower
to grow. There is a huge amount of freedom that
comes to us when we take nothing personally. No
one can make us feel inferior without our
consent. It is much more valuable to look for
the strength in others. We can gain nothing by
criticizing the imperfections of other people.
Criticism may
not be agreeable or
satisfying but it is necessary. It fulfills the
same function as pain in the human body. It
calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.
But we must always have to watch out for the
joy-stealers: gossip, criticism, complaining,
fault-finding and a negative, judgmental
attitude.
I see people committing social media
suicide online all the time by one of two ways:
First by responding to all criticism and by
responding to things that don’t warrant a
response. The trouble with most of us is that we
would rather be ruined by praise that saved by
criticism.
We
cannot let praise or criticism get to us. It is
a weakness to get caught up in either one. I
do take compliments and I also take constructive
criticism.
Few people have the wisdom to recognize criticism that would do them good, to the
praise that deceives them.
