Criticism

Criticism is important and invigorating for the following reasons:

• You're on the right track when a target appears on your back.
• It's part of doing business.
• Trying to get everyone to like you is mediocrity.
• Play big or play small; criticism will come either way.  You might as well play big.
• History doesn't remember those who play neutral.
• Speaking out draws criticism.
• Criticism parallels influence.
• It takes courage to see things the way they are, not what you want them to be.
