Praise vs. Criticism

Scott Young has a great blog and this is one post he had that is very interesting.  It is like the thought, "You can't have good without having bad." They go hand in hand.  This is the same concept but it is with praise and criticism.
He writes about how to not overly take praise to heart and get too confident because that leads to laziness.  When you take praise in deeply, you will take in criticism deeply and that can really effect your efforts and outcomes!
He has a few tips he goes into detail on such as 'Stop caring what others think of yourself,' and 'Start caring what you think of yourself,' and lastly, how the ideal state of mind is 'humble confidence.'

Hint: It takes two!

I love this video!!

This is a great talk about leadership and followers and how there isn’t really a leader if no one is following him/her!  Also, Derek talks about how if there is someone who has an awesome idea and you want to stand behind him or her, it’s your passion too, do it and more will follow!  Then your movement is started!  Take the courage to step up and work at your goals and you will get there!
