Problem Solving

<h2><i>"The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment." </i></h2>

<p><i>"We need very strong ears to hear ourselves judged frankly, and because there are few who can endure frank criticism without being stung by it, those who venture to criticize us perform a remarkable act of friendship, for to undertake to wound or offend a man for his own good is to have a healthy love for him."</i></p>

<p><i>"The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic."</i></p>

<h2><i>"The dread of criticism is the death of genius."</i></h2>

<i>"The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism."&nbsp;</i>

<p><i>"Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing."</i></p>

<p>"<i>It is a thing of no great difficulty to raise objections against another man's oration--nay, it is very easy; but to produce a better in its place is a work extremely troublesome.</i>"</p>

<p>"<i>If you have no will to change it, you have no right to criticize it</i>."</p>

<p>"<i>Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots.</i>"</p>

<p>"<i>Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn--and most fools do. </i><i>But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving</i><b>."</b></p>

<strong> </strong><p>"<i>Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.</i>"</p>

Nobody likes being criticized. But how you handle it makes all the difference. If you lock up and become defensive, you're likely to waste a lot of time feeling bad--and repeating the same behavior that was a problem to begin with.
