Embracing criticism can be a challenging yet rewarding journey. It's a skill that can transform your personal and professional life, fostering growth and resilience. Let's delve into understanding the art of taking criticism and turning it into a powerful tool for self-improvement.
Criticism
To grow and be better at what we do and even to be better people, we need outside criticism to guide us.
- While taking criticism, try to keep an open mind and keep your emotions out
- Constructive criticism helps you learn and understand your shortcomings and helps you make better decisions in the future
Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man’s growth without destroying his roots
You have to take criticism with a grain of salt because you’re never going to please everybody
- Be mindful of the people that criticise you and before paying attention to them or letting their words get to you, ask yourself, does this person know what you’re going through?
- Does this person genuinely want you to grow and become better?
Humanity is an ocean, if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
Let go of the harsh past and work for a beautiful and better future

This was written in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic and a few days ago I came across this and decided to change it up a little based on the current situation going around.
- During the time of this pandemic, all our lives have changed drastically..
Humanity and togetherness
Humans are able to push past the point of negativity and let positivity take the spotlight
- We’ve seen time and time again, the power of togetherness and the message we’re able to spread together
- Through kindness, love and compassion, we’ve been able to get through those bad times and we’ve come back stronger and better than ever
Since then we’ve all gotten used to this new way of life, in some ways, it has become the new ‘normal’.
Throughout this whole experience, right from the discovery of this virus, to seeing it rapidly spread globally, to getting the vaccine, and now to this point where things are getting more or less back to normal, we’ve consistently seen the power of togetherness and humanity
- We saw people coming together (while staying apart), keeping their masks on, staying home, and most importantly, constantly supporting and cheering on the people working hard for us
Let go of the bad memories from the past and embrace this time
Forgive your past and start looking for a brighter future
- Most of us have reached out to people we haven’t spoken to in a long while – that friend that turned their back on us in middle school, that aunt who was really mean to us, even little Billy from kindergarten
