“Criticism should help you make better decisions, and not stop you from doing anything.”

by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from The Vision, chapter 61

In other words

Criticism brings another view into contact with our own. It may reveal a fault, a missing effect, or simply the way an action appears from a different place.

Not every criticism is wise or kindly meant. Its usefulness has to be judged against reality and the situation. Even a hostile opinion can sometimes show something about how people think, while generous praise can still overlook a real problem.

The purpose is not to obey every voice or become too afraid to act. Criticism serves us when it adds information to a decision. It can refine the next step without taking away the courage to keep moving.
