And finally, Friday's thoughts:
"We will face critics at every corner, even more so when we pursue worthwhile goals. Be prepared for criticism and remove personal consideration from the equation. Negative judgment cannot harm us if we refuse to take it personal. Criticism is one fear we don’t want to take with us on the road to success!"
- from "Overcoming Obstacles with SPUNK!"
Thanks for the interesting links again. I look forward to checking them out.

ReplyDelete"Be prepared for criticism and remove personal consideration from the equation. Negative judgment cannot harm us if we refuse to take it personal." Oh so true. I you can do that and realize it's the price of admission, you can continue striding forward to meet your goals.
I'm going to have to check out the online conference in October. Thanks for sharing that bit of new with us. Of course having a favorite person doing some of the discussions also helps, :-)
Loved the final part also. And you are so right. We can't please all the people all the time. And if we try, we just end up exhausted!
ReplyDeleteGlad you mentioned the Muse Online Writers' Conference. When Lea and I started it, we never dreamed it would be so big. Of course, Lea is the computer genius behind the project but that doesn't make me any less proud of it. (-:
