Criticism is one of the major requirement of success,without criticism there will be no room for improvement.most successful people today faced lots of criticism on their way to success.
Most people are afraid of trying new things because of criticism, forgetting that in our contemporary society today there is absolutely nothing you do that will not be criticised by people. They tie their happiness to people's opinion,making people's thought their priority.
There is a cliche most people use that goes thus"Even if you don't do it people will still criticize you for not doing it"you might as well do it and still get criticised. You can write the book you want to,wear the cloth you want to,and do whatever you want to as long as you are happy doing it.
One thing we ought to have noticed about successful people they all have staunch supporters and fierce critics but their antidote to this critics was getting comfortable with criticism.many people might ask,how can I get comfortable with criticism? My reply would have been "getting a thick skin" but I don't go with that beacause it implies a kind of barrier between myself and the world.we get comfortable with criticism by changing what we make criticism and praise mean.
For example...wow this your write up is nice,but you still need little improvement... This is a praise and also a correction,we should learn to take correction
This writeup is a total waste of time..(purely criticism) don't allow this set of people get to you,because you will be forced to quit what you just started.
In summary,you can either be judged because you created something or be ignored beacase you left greatness inside of you.
