1. Look — Watch the persons who are criticizing you and you will hear a loud tone of voices and probably see angry ugly faces and perhaps arms moving in different directions. Make up your mind that you will keep your cool in total silence.
2. Listen — In life’s rat race, listening seems to be a forgotten factor. Carefully listen to the words of criticism, perhaps there might be some truth in it. Use it as an opportunity to improve yourself and you will find that criticism will be reduced.
3. Laugh — Nothing is more embarrassing to a critic than a subtle laugh. Almost everyone who criticizes you would like you to be shameful, sheepish and serious. However, avoid laughing loudly as if it were a great joke or even being sarcastic. A sense of humor helps a great deal.
4. Love — It is unfortunate that most people criticize with an attitude of arrogance, bitterness, hatred and revenge. From the tone of their voices it is clear that they intend to punish rather than bring about a change of behavior. He/she may be the very person who needs your help to become different. Let your love work its magic.
5. Liberate — Believing liberation as political freedom to do as we like binds us in the chains of anger, greed, selfishness and violence. It is important that we accept our critics as they are and help them to become the persons they are meant to be.
