Criticism isn't always bad. It allows you to reflect on things that you may need to work, things that you might not recognize. Then there are those types of criticism from people that isn't really constructive, but can be damaging to your self-confidence. Here are some quotes for when you are faced with those. Acknowledge the critique, then keep it moving..
-“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt
-“It’s easy to attack and destroy an act of creation. It’s a lot more difficult to perform one.“
-“Even if you do nothing, say nothing and be nothing, there will still be many who will criticize you. It is much better to be criticized for success than being condemned for failures because success rids you of the many miseries of life.“
-“Who do you spend time with? Criticizers or encouragers? Surround yourself with those who believe in you. Your life is too important for anything less.“
-“Criticism is just someone else’s opinion. Even people who are experts in their fields are sometimes wrong. It is up to you to choose whether to believe some of it, none of it, or all of it. What you think is what counts.“
-[Don’t] live life as a spectator. [If] no one is cheering you on and/or booing you; it means you’re not in the game
-“When criticized, consider the source.”
-“Appreciate the constructive; ignore the destructive.”
-“You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.”
