How to handle Criticism?

Most people can't take and don't take criticism in the right spirit, criticism often leads to some amount of learning which should be accepted sportingly. A nice article, I liked the 3 point of how to take criticism.

People who don't take criticism in the right spirit then they are the losers.Criticism teaches us how to tackle the situation. 

There are two kinds of criticism. Constructive and Destructive criticism. Pay heed to constructive criticism. Shy away from destructive criticism. Decision is yours.

Negative criticism an often lead to a lot of stress and can bog you down, so it is better to ignore it.

Turn your deaf ear towards negative criticism  for you own good.

You have to Control your own reaction to handle it. cause there can also be the possibility that you are wrong in this situation.

That is also quite true, when you are wrong, you have to learn to take the criticism in the right spirit. But not every one can keep criticism calmly.

Criticism, if healthy, should be taken in its spirit, because we know our words are not the final. But beware of those criticizers who criticize just for attacking and provoking the opponent, without any specific logic.

Positive criticism is always good for our development in day-to-day life. We can take that and improve ourself. But there are people who always keep on finding mistakes from your side, even you are correct. Ignore that kind of criticism always. Because if you keep on listening to that, the day will end up in stress.

By listening such negative criticism why one should put himself in to unwanted and undesirable? by being away from such criticisms, we are helping ourselves.

Yes, some people criticize out of jealousy and want to instill negativity and loss of confidence in the person. Such people should be ignored.

Keep those jealousy critics at bay by posing as if the critic is not present in the place. He criticises until his throat becomes dry and beat a retreat.

But it may not be possible to keep jealous crtics at bay all the time. So the best way it to answer them by defending oneself if you are on the correct side.

In such a situation you have to have the courage and patience abundantly.

Pateince is the key to control one's tongue and language in such situations.

The crux is not to draw swords.

Criticism that comes out from a known person leaves no room for judging whether the criticism is constructive or destructive.

Kabir advised- Nindak niyarare rakhiya (Be close to critics). Critics help you to improve.  You may easily discriminate between constructive useful and negative irrelevant.
