Being criticized is not a bad thing

Fear of criticism robs a man of motivation, destroys his imagination, limits his personality, robs him of self-control, and hurts him in a hundred other ways.

——Think and Grow Rich

Known by the Japanese people as "the little man who practiced a million-dollar smile", the famous American writer Ogg.Yuan Yiping, a salesman called "the greatest salesman in the world" by Mandino, was originally a young salesman of an insurance company. Although he worked hard every day, his income was still pitiful. In order to save money, he Don't even eat lunch, don't take the tram.

One day, the young man came to a Buddhist temple called "Cunyun Bieyuan". After being invited into the temple, the young man sat opposite the temple abbot Yoshida, and then he talked endlessly to the old man. The monk introduced the benefits of insurance.

The old monk listened to him patiently without saying a word, and then said calmly: "After listening to your introduction, I can't arouse my willingness to take out insurance at all." The young man was discouraged all of a sudden.

The old monk went on to say: "When people sit facing each other like this, they must have a strong charm to attract each other. If you can't do this, you will have no future to speak of."

The young man was speechless.

The old monk said again: "Young man, try to reform yourself first..."

Next, the young man organized a "criticism meeting" specifically for himself, held once a month, and invited five colleagues or insured clients to dinner each time. They point out their own shortcomings.

"Your personality is too impatient, and you often lose your temper...", "You are a bit self-righteous, and you often don't listen to other people's opinions, so it is easy to arouse everyone's resentment...", "You are facing all kinds of people. , you must have a wealth of knowledge, your common sense is not rich enough, so you must strengthen your studies, so that you can quickly find common topics with customers and shorten the distance between each other..."

Repeated "criticism" and sitting meditation made this young man begin to grow like a silkworm, quietly transforming with the passage of time.By 1939, his sales performance was awarded the best in Japan, and since 1948, he has maintained the number one sales in Japan for 15 consecutive years.

It can be seen that criticism is not necessarily a bad thing, only those who are good at accepting criticism and suggestions from others can succeed.If a person can't face other people's criticisms calmly, and doesn't know how to accept other people's opinions, he will eventually "miss" with success.

George works at the famous Cary Moon Lake Resort outside New York.

One weekend, when George was busy, the waiter came into the kitchen with a plate and told him that a customer ordered the "fried potatoes" and he complained that they were cut too thick.

George looked at the plate, and it was no different from the previous fried potatoes, but he cut the potatoes thinner according to the customer's request, and made a new one for the waiter to send.

A few minutes later, the waiter walked back to the kitchen angrily with the plate and said to George: "I think that picky customer must have encountered difficulties in business, and then vented his anger on me with the potato, and he texted me. Complaints, I still think the cut is too thick."

George is also very angry in the busy kitchen, never seen such a guest!But he still held back his temper, calmed down, and patiently cut the potatoes into thinner slices, and then fried them in an oil pan until they became attractive golden brown. After picking them up and putting them on a plate, he sprinkled them some salt, and ask the waiter for the third time
Not long after, the waiter came into the kitchen with the plate again, but this time there was nothing on the plate.The waiter said to George: "The customers are very satisfied. The rest of the restaurant guests are also full of praise. They want more orders."

This thin fried potato dish has since become George's signature dish. Later, the potato was replaced with potato chips, and developed into various flavors.

The key to George's success is that when he faced criticism, he was not full of complaints and complained about others, but he was able to hold back his complaints and do his job well to satisfy customers.The improvement time after time not only satisfies the customers, but also achieves George's career.

The quality of a successful person is that when someone is dissatisfied with himself, instead of complaining about others, he actively strives to improve himself.
