It’s difficult to avoid criticism. If we do something we may get criticized. If we do nothing we will get criticized. But let’s face it! Criticism hurts. We all have fragile egos, and when we receive it, we get knocked down. Of course, not all criticism is deserved. But the question is not whether it is or is not deserved, how should we handle it? This message focuses on this question.
