Taking Punch on Face for Growth? When we start writing we have to learn to take punch. People are going to disagree with us, no matter how good we get. I remember I got comment on my 7 year old post on Medium. Comment "First learn to write in better English before you preach productivity". That was 7 years back. The person who wrote that comment was neither writer nor constructive in any way. Should you care for such criticism then? Not at all. Remember it should either build you or disagree with you in a fair way. Life is too short for trolls who can comment on your life 7 years back. You have to rise above criticism and continue to do what you are good or bad at to improve.
