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.

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. ...

Start With A Decision

The truth is that most dangerous place to be is in the middle of the road. Make rigid decisions, no should I or shouldn't I. A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. Remain indecisive and you will never grow! Every accomplishment great or small, starts with a decision. To move to where you are, you must decide where you would rather be.

It's A Process....

Accomplishing your dreams is a process, not something that happens overnight. Often we get discouraged because we don't think we are making progress, and the next thing we know we have veered away from that goal. The key is to plan a course for how we want to achieve our goals. And each and every day, take a few steps closer towards our goal. You've got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing. Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense. "Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, ...
