A good quote I love is “You never achieve real success unless you like what you are doing.” This is the reality of successful people.
Every since I started I’ve been criticized for every single thing I’ve done, from my website headers, to some of the events I’ve attended, to the relationships I’ve managed to build and the way I’ve marketed my own image as my brand. However those very things that people have criticized me for were the things that pushed my site to grow as fast as it did.  Imagine if I had listened to those people?  Where would I be? I definitely wouldn’t be HERE
So I say this to say, no matter what you are doing in life, you will always receive some sort of criticism and you can’t expect to always receive positive feedback. It’s up to you to continue to listen to your instincts and what YOU feel is right. My favorite quote of all times is actually one of my own
“I’ve learned in life that you’ll get criticized more from losers than you will winners. Take advice from champs”
and one more..
“Some People will never see the bigger picture and therefore they will always live in a Box”
In 2010, It’s about DOING YOU. Let them be content with being average while you strive for greatness”. You should never settle for anything less.
