There will be one, two, or even a large number of people who are going to criticize (批评) you. Are there ways to manage criticisms more effectively? Yes, there are. Listen to them properly. Then ask yourself the question, “Can their criticisms be useful? Is there some truth to them?” Most of all, “Can I be a better person because of them?” If the answer is no to all of the questions, then there is no need for you to take them in. Determine the motivation of the feedback (反馈). Why are you being criticized in the first place? If someone calls you lazy because you have not been keeping track of your responsibilities, then there may be some truth to it no matter how harsh the criticism can be. However, if it comes from a person who does not know, does not care about you, or worse still, does not really like you, then there is a good chance that the criticism has just been given to spite you. Open yourself to the possibility of mistakes. You may be getting negative feedback because you’ve committed the mistakes yourself. Now don’t be too strict with yourself. Everybody goes through that. Just learn from the experience and move on. Stay cool. There will be hundreds of criticisms that will make you feel very stressed and angry. You can do meditations (深思) when you’re feeling blood boiling. Take long deep breaths.Allow the air to occupy your lungs. Then breathe out through your mouth slowly. While you’re doing that, you can also say subliminal (潜意识的) messages like “I can be a better person” or“My mistakes don’t define me” or “I won’t let bad judgments get into my head.” These subliminal messages can certainly help improve your mood, making you less stressed and much happier.1. Why should we listen to criticisms properly?
