MOST OF US DON'T MIND BEING TOLD OF OUR FAULTS IF THE CRITIC IS GENEROUS ENOUGH
TO MIX IN A FEW OF OUR VIRTUES AS WELL.
It's a normal reaction to defend ourselves and our
behaviour when someone criticises us-even if we secretly recognise that
what we're being told is correct. Those who achieve great success in
life, however, are those who have learned to set aside their emotions
and learn from others, even when the message is unpleasant. If you find
yourself being evaluated by someone else, tell yourself that criticism
of some aspect of your performance is not a personal attack. Control
your emotional reaction and adopt useful ideas even though you may
dislike the manner in which the information is delivered.
To Your Success,
Georgios
