RISE ABOVE
Steve Goodier
Former U.S. President John F. Kennedy received endless advice and
criticism from the media concerning how he should run the
country. Much of it he took good-naturedly. In fact, he often
used a favorite story in response to the media's comments about
how they thought he could do a better job.
He told about a legendary baseball player who always played
flawlessly. He consistently hit when at bat and was never thrown
out at first. When on base he never failed to score. As a
fielder, he never dropped a ball and he threw with unerring
accuracy. He ran swiftly and played gracefully.
In fact, he would have been one of the all-time greats except for
one thing - no one could ever persuade him to put down his beer
and hotdog and come out of the press box to play!
Most of us can empathize, for we all have people in our lives who
criticize and second-guess. They are quick to point out flaws and
quicker yet to offer advice.
When it comes to receiving criticism, I believe it helps to
remember first that not all criticism is invalid. Wisdom listens
for the kernel of truth and saves it for future growth. But when
criticism seems unfair, I believe it helps to remember the hawk.
When attacked by crows, it does not counterattack. Instead, the
hawk soars higher and higher in ever- widening circles until the
pests leave it alone.
When there is nothing to learn from criticism, can you rise above
it and soar?
