Quote of the day:

“Don’t be distracted by criticism. Remember the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you." – Zig Ziglar

Consider:

A story is told of a young woman who wanted to become a prima ballerina. She studied diligently for many years, until she finally had the opportunity to audition for the ballet master. Her performance was faultless and superb. After the audition the master barely looked up at her and remarked simply that she wouldn’t be accepted, she had no talent to become a ballerina. Crushed, the young lady gave up her dream. Years later she happened to attend a ballet where she again met the old master. She went up to ask him how he could have known she would never make a great ballerina. The old man didn’t recognize her, but he paused a moment and said, ”My dear that’s what I tell all the ballerinas who audition for me.”

Ask yourself--is a word of criticism from another stopping you from making progress towards your goal? Consider the reply of the old ballet master and remember your success is not so much determined by another’s criticisms but by your own perseverance.

Wishing you all the best,
