Paying Attention to Criticism

Some people stubbornly resist any type of criticism. They can’t stomach even the smallest amount of negative commentary on their work, and move quickly to cut off any perceived challenge to their supremacy.

We should welcome all criticism with open arms.

Legitimate criticism provides an avenue for us to examine what it is we’re doing and gives us an opportunity to improve our offerings.

And baseless criticism? Well, at least it lets us know that someone’s paying attention to what it is we’re doing.
