Criticism is killing you. Here's why...
Criticism is the most over-glorified thing which actually kills more times than it stands correct.
Criticism is fatal when the critic lacks context and unfortunately they almost always do.
Criticism is over glorified and given wayyyy too much importance in the society today.
A person who can’t receive criticism well is considered bad and egoistic and a lot more labels are attached to her/his personality.
But actually that person is smart.
A person who criticises the critic can get to the real motivation behind that argument to understand it’s true nature and where that critic is coming from.
And dissect it to a level that there they can finally understand the substance in the criticism (if it’s present).
This broken down version of the criticism is of real use, not the first raw version of it.
Because this can make you understand ins and outs of the whole thing and help you install or reject it from your life, startup, work or whatever.
A person surrounded by supporters becomes delusional.
A person surrounded by critics doesn’t remain his/her original self.
A person who breaks down everything to understand the real substance behind any occurence is the one who wins.
