It is not so easy to remain at ease if you are being critisized. However, many times in life it is very important that you should accept the criticism with a smiling face. It may be useful to you in a sense that it gives you an idea about your weaknesses sometimes.
Our politicians are experts in this matter. However, what about you?

It can shake you to say the very least. It is hard to deal with criticism, especially when its true. Yet, all criticism should be worthy of at least some thought. There are times where I don't like what is being told of me, but I think, "yeah, they might have a point...no wait, they do have a point." I can't believe I never thought of that but it is in fact true. It does take another person to point out the flaws of us.
Some people refuse to see that they are wrong. That's unfortunate and it is not the best thing in the world. You're only setting yourself up for a huge fall. Still, it takes someone to point it out to you to really get you thinking about how wrong that you are. Sometimes we all look through our own actions with a slightly biased and favorable set of eyes. That's not wrong, that is just being human and another part of being human is making mistakes. I try and accept criticism and don't brush it under the rug, just because I disagree it.

It is great character of yours to accept the criticism. I must say that you must have worked on it with good intentions. Most of the times we do not like to accept anything that is against us. But acceptance our weaknesses is the first step for the improvement.
I would suggest that we should ask our friends to make creative crticism on our various things so that we improve upon our weaknesses.

That is right...! Unless somebody points out to your weaknesses you may not be able to know about them untill you suffer some loss. So it is better to hear carefully what your critics have to say about you. In any case, if you do not feel like agreeing with such criticism then you are always to react in whatever suitable way you feel like.

I can accept criticism when it comes from people who are better than me in that particular domain of life, may it be professional, emotional or other, and only when I consider it is legit to be criticized. And I pay attention how that critic is made, if the person who makes it uses correct words and tonality. If he uses ugly words, yells at me and tries to insult me, I will not accept critics and I respond back or leave the person to shout and go away. This way he will be the one who will feel weird, with the words being stuck in his mouth, for not having to who to tell them. But, as I said, the critic is legit and comes from the right person and is told how it should be, than it is okay, I can accept them and try to learn something from them.
