Criticism (Receiving) and Attitude
Criticism:
Don’t take it personally.
Remember the fundamental attribution error.
Now ask yourself, “why are they criticizing?”
All criticism contains at least a grain of truth.
“It’s my thing” is not something to have an attitude about. — manager-tools newsletter.

Never let criticism fill you with doubt.
Listen, don’t interrupt. Interrupting is being closed to what the other is saying.
The critic’s best friend — your lizard brain.
