Future tip 3 – how to handle criticism

Can Simon Cowell sing?

Criticism hurts, but that hurt doesn’t have to last for long. First step is to realise that everyone criticises from their own perspective. What people see in other people, they always have in themselves. If you don’t believe that, check it out. Next time someone tells you that you are thoughtless, lazy, unprepared, annoying etc. consider how thoughtless, lazy, unprepared, or annoying. the critic themselves might be. They may not have these traits in the same way you do, but there will be some aspect of their criticism of you that they will have in themselves.

Remember, it truly does ‘take one to know one’.
