Accepting Criticism Like A Champion.

Accepting Criticism Like A Champion.

Feedback is necessary, more so when you are working on an all-important project at work. When you work hard on a great project, you expect a pat on the back by your boss. It could also happen that the great project didn’t turn out the way your boss wanted and instead of bouquets and claps you stand at the receiving end of brickbats or severe criticism.

You can recount many such stories and reminisce being joyous about achieving a certain goal you’d set for yourself.

All We Need is Patience.

Patience is not an innate virtue, it is a skill. It is often said that your patience is tested in the face of trying and difficult circumstances, when what should provoke you leaves you unfettered.

Why Business Owners Should Take Risks.

If you believe that entrepreneurs are simply risk takers, you are wrong. If they had been perpetual risk takers they wouldn’t make for great success stories.
