There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing. –Aristotle
Since it is impossible for us to do nothing anyway, we might as well do what we wish the most. Criticism is inevitable but also encouragement. We can learn from the criticisms, and be motivated from the encouragements of others. The good news is that everyone is fair game when it comes to criticisms and as well as encouragements. If it’s all right to allow other’s voice to be heard, it is only fair that our voice is heard by others also. We have the same right as everyone else to be what we want to be.
