Kindness is often ridiculed.
Especially in a world that seems to favor strength.
But remaining kind when you aren't treated with kindness is true strength.
To all my kind heroes.
Stay kind.
I know your real strength.
You make the world a better place.
Criticism can be tough to swallow.
BUT
When someone hits you with hard truth.
GOOD
Don't flinch. Don't react. Don't defend.
LISTEN
The people who tell you uncomfortable truths and give you critical feedback are the ones who push you to grow.
EMBRACE THEM. LEARN. GROW
@KamenStefanoff Thank you, Kamen. I am glad you liked it, and you're absolutely right: if we don't filter what matters, we drown in information overload.
The higher up the chain you want to go, the more carefully you should select your mentors. Check out my latest Atomic Essay to find out why you can't trust just anyone for advice.
Hi Lila, your essay is super interesting to me. As a German / English speaker, I always wondered why it is that all the the things I learn and consume in English are often difficult to retrieve in German. To me, it sometimes feels as if both languages are completely separated in my brain.
