Make Critic Your Best Friend

“We need very strong ears to hear ourselves judged frankly, and because there are few who can endure frank criticism without being stung by it, those who venture to criticize us perform a remarkable act of friendship, for to undertake to wound or offend a man for his own good is to have a healthy love for him.” – Michel de Montaigne
This International friendship day, let us befriend critic as a chance to see ourselves lovingly and clearly and bring a positive shift.
