To impact all levels of society and all walks of life!

CRITICISM
Quote - 'Through good and ill report I still rushed on
Nor felt the fire of popular applause
Nor feared the torturing flame in such a glorious cause.'
- George Whitfield in a letter to John Wesley
One of the most difficult challenges for a leader is the inevitable criticism from being out front
The more successful you become the greater the criticism will be.
People clothe jealousy, prejudice and envy with legitimate sounding criticisms.
Henry Louis Mencken said 'criticism is prejudice made plausible.'
If you care too much what others think, you will be hurt.
Care less what others think.
You cannot make everyone happy.
Stay true to your course.
Nothing of worth is achieved without opposition.
Winston Churchill declared;
'Opposition is the natural environment of effective leaders. Resisting extreme reaction to criticism is the key to steadiness at the helm. One of the deciding marks of a great leader is the way he handles criticism. Criticism is easy, achievement is difficult.'
