I think no one likes any criticism, but how they deal with it determines progress or regress.
One should look at the criticism rather than the person giving it.
Personal feelings can cloud one's judgement I listen to the criticism and then evaluate it with sober judgement of myself.
- is the criticism justified? - is the problem/trait/action in parallel view - i ask the criticizer questions on what motivated the criticism (not as a cross-questioning session or being defensive, but to gain more info on where the person is coming from) - clear misconceptions - what is the premise for the criticism? One has to be teachable all the time Often who we think is our adversary is just the person that helps us grow and had the guts to point out something to us that others avoid in doing

Basically there are two type of criticism - Positive and Negative.
Both the criticism should be considered in positive manner.
In Negative criticism the person criticizing you has pre-determined agenda to insult you....At this point of time you should develop the capacity to patient and do the counter attack systematically.
Such criticism will help you enhancing your capacity for patient, systematical attack using appropriate logic etc.
However in the positive criticism, the person is trying to insult you in form of Taunt.
But at this time you should not loose your patient and should use such criticism in you favor.

Criticism must be taken positively as it is a signal that you are being noticed and those criticizing actually care for you so that you become aware of your weakness and improve.
It is the quality of good leader to be courageous to accept criticism positively.
In my opinion a person who is criticized is the leader in the making.

I really appreciate constructive critics.
Look at it this way: A restaurant that is not willing to learn from critic is more than likely to close down quickly.
We are standing still when we are unwilling to accept different perspectives.
We do not always have to agree…..
