How do you handle criticism when someone is talking about you? Whether in a gossipy way or proffessional way?

i saw this quote on a commercial and i hope you understand it:
"Do nothing, Be nothing, and Say nothing and you'll avoid criticism"
i prolly messed it up, but it basically says that no one can EVER avoid criticism without totally turning their back on their true self. so when you do get criticism, just be kinda glad cuz you're being yourself, or at least trying to make a difference with something. And i PROMISE you'll always get people talking about u til the day you die (and probably after), you just gatta be the best person you can be and hopefully it will be all good stuff said about u.

It's easy... I just consider the source. Since I know more about me than anyone else could ever know, and since I'm okay with that, you can criticize me all you want and I will just ignore you realizing that whatever you say is just your opinion and based on nothing.

If it's said unkindly, you still need to swallow your pride and remember there is a probably more than a grain of truth to it, or think upon the implications of what they're saying. I try to do that.

WHo is saying it and what are they saying?
Glean from it that which is important, or you may have to discard the entire criticism

It often is what changes us, makes us react. Is it constructive or negative criticism?

all criticism should be taken to your brain not your heart.
evaluate why he/she criticise
-to spoilt your day?
-to see you improve ?
-or just trigger your anger?
put yourself in his/her shoes, figure his/her intention and digest logically not emotionally.
then you shall not take criticism to your heart anymore

us it as a energy and make it positive
if someone is just bashing you ignore them because some people mean more harm than good
