If people are kicking you in the behind, atleast you are in front of them.
Chances are that you have heard many unkind and critical words about your person, work and goals, don't give up on your dream because of that, I must admit that it is never easy to deal with critics especially when you have put in your very best, You can, however, learn and improve with criticism is unqualified praise, It is unsolicited advice, more than that, criticism is a sure sign thst you are doing something that is probably taking you somewhere, remember, no one ever throw stones at a non-fruit bearing tree.
Thank goodness you are worth somebody's time and attention, Small, insignificant and unimportant people are never criticized, only result producers, achievers and influencers are under the watchful eyes of critics, however, some criticism are worth listening to if they come from knowledgeable and well-informed and experienced persons, chances are that you can profit from them. On the other hand, criticism from pessimist, " holier than thou" attitude people, "know it all" should at best be ignored.
In like manner, don't surrender your destiny to failures, a person who is going nowhere or had not got s better result than you is not qualified to criticize you, don't trade places with such people, listening to them is like carrying a heavy luggage, It can only weigh you down, people who give up on their dreams often criticize the efforts of others, Certainly, some criticisms come from rivals and competitors, their purpose is to depreciate, demoralize, damage, frustrate, discourage and distract you, don't mind them, just keep on going in the direction of your dreams.
Of course, there are a few others who truly want you to succeed, whoever is the critic, remind yourself that if you are not going anywhere in life, nobody will ever mind you, an eagle cannot stop soaring high because of criticism by a chicken, just keep on keeping on, make neccesary amends where you can, but don't allow nobody to abort your destiny, a day is coming when they will sing your praise and count it a privilege to be your friend, if you don't give up, If you are not big enough to stand criticism, you are too small to be promoted.
A man who wants to lead the Orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.
