Understand when your efforts bring disappointing results, learn from what went wrong, then give it another shot. Why? You have just set yourself up to come back even stronger.
Beginning today when others criticize and oppose what you have done, thank them for their helpful feedback. Why? You have just seen your efforts from a different perspective.
