If you want to get ahead in the world, you'll have to do all three. So you should expect to be criticized. The key is to discern what is helpful criticism (most isn't) and what you need to shrug off. The ability to be unflappable in the face of criticism requires a healthy self esteem, self confidence and a tough outer shell. I call it having a thick skin and a soft heart. The trick is to n�ver mix up the two. If you're n�ver being criticized, judged or disparaged in any way, you're likely not doing all that much and you probably need to move up a few notches on the "Go-for-it-Scale'. All criticism should be listened to, but not all of it is valid. A friend of mine used to say, "If one person calls you a horse, well that's just an opinion. If two people call you a horse, you may want to stop and think about it. If three people call you a horse, you may want to start shopping for saddles." Action Point If you trust the source--or you're getting the same criticism from several people--consider the validity and take corrective action when it's warranted. If it's not, thank the person for sharing, and forget about it. Recognize that everyone has their opinion and that you don't always have to defend yours. "Let the dogs bark; the caravan moves on." ------------------------------------------- "You are not h�re merely to make a living. You are h�re in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are h�re to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand." --Woodrow Wilson ------------------------------------------- News & Announcements 1.
