I found this interesting take on criticism from Mark Cuban. It seems as though critics very rarely get into why a person or organization does something.
Mark Cuban:
The easiest thing in the world to avoid is criticism. All you have to do is nothing. Do nothing of your own free will.
Do only what is asked of you and nothing more, and and chances are you will never be criticized .For those of us who set goals and want to have an impact in the business world in particular , criticism is part of
the job description. You have to be able to be able to take it and sometimes you cant be afraid to dish it out.Although criticism is typically perceived as a negative, it can be one of the most positive and motivating forces any
of us can experience. The key to turning criticism into a positive is understanding the nature of the criticism.In a nuthsell it comes down to content. Is the criticism based on content or not.
I’ve received a ton of criticism in the media over the last few weeks. People criticized where, when and how I did
things. Not a single person criticized or challenged why.
