Criticism Is A Complement

Criticism is a complement when you're doing the right thing. Foes and critics are never interested in solving problems, and they never offer a better solution. So if your head sticks up above the crowd, expect more criticism than applause. If someone belittles you, he is only trying to cut you down in his size. While throwing mud, critics are simultaneously losing ground.

You can tell a failure by the way he criticizes success. Those who complain about the way the ball bounces are usually the ones who dropped it. Small minds are the first to condemn great ideas. If people talk negatively about you, live and work so that no one will believe them.

Fear of criticism is the kiss of death in the courtship of achievement. A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him.

People with momentum all share one trait: they attract criticism. How you respond to that criticism will determine the rate of your momentum. Don't ever give time to a critic.

It's a thousand times easier to criticize, than to create. That's why critics are never problem solvers. Don't be a cloud because you failed to be a star. Instead, give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to listen or criticize others.

Take criticism as a complement. Anyone who has ever achieved greatness had critics.

Haste Makes Waste

There are no shortcut to any place worth going. The way to the top is neither swift or easy. Nothing worth while ever happens in a hurry, so be patient. Your success has less to do with speed and more to do with timing and direction. The key is doing the right thing at the right time. You are always nearer than you think. The greater oppurtunity is where you are. Do not despise your own place and hour. The most important thing in our lives is what we are doing now. Know the real value of today. The regrets that most people experience in life comes from failing to act when having an oppurtunity. Be on the outlook for oppurtunities God is sending your way. Seize the momoments! The trouble with life in the fast lane is that you get to the other end too soon. Hastes makes waste; give time, time. Many people over estimate what they can do in a year and under estimate what they can do in a life time. There is simply more to life than increasing it's speed.

Refuse To Live a Targetless Life

The ability to set a goal is the master skill to success. Success is goals, all else is commentary. You cannot hit a target you cannot see, if you don't have one. One of the greatest mistakes and a waste of life is living without a clear purpose or goal. A life without clear goals is a life doomed to failure. Any man who selects a goal in life which can be fully achieved has already defined his own limitation. So the clearer you are about your goal, the more rapidly you'll attract people and circumstances into your life to help make that goal a reality. Most people have their eye on the wrong goal. Is more money, a higher position or more influence your goal? These are not goals but are the by-products of true goals. We should work to become, not acquire. Measure wealth not by things you have, but by the things you have for which you would not take money. Happiness is not a reward - it's a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment - it's result.

Value

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty . "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20." Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that
