1. Don’t take yourself too seriously. If you can develop the ability to laugh at yourself, you will be much more relaxed when receiving criticism.
2. Watch your own attitude toward the critic. A negative attitude toward criticism can be more destructive than the criticism itself.
3. Don’t just see the critic; see if there’s a crowd. I’m suggesting that you expand your vision; go beyond the critic and see if he has a cheering section. Consider the possibility that you are hearing the same criticism from several people. If this is the case, and the critics are reliable, you need to realize that you have a challenge to work on.
4. If you think your right, wait for a time to prove them wrong. Time is your best ally; it allows you to prove yourself right.
4. Concentrate on your mission—change your mistakes. Most people do exactly the opposite—they change their mission and concentrate on their mistakes. If you run from your task each time you make a mistake, you will never accomplish anything. You will always be in a state of frustration and defeat. The only real mistakes in life are the mistakes from which we learn nothing. So instead of dwelling on them, learning from them, and move on.
