Criticism – April Word Month Week 1
Criticism
Week 1
“All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.”
Unknown
Translation for Adults
Being criticized is inevitable. It is much wiser to accept fact, instead of allowing criticism to become a barrier to your tasks, goals and accomplishments. You’ll learn and grow as a human being if you act just like the weather, when it comes to criticism: No matter how much you criticize it, it still acts exactly like weather. It does not matter how much criticism you receive; what’s important is that you maintain your course and continue to do what is right. Although criticism from others can be constructive, it’s important to ignore that criticism occasionally, so you are not deterred from striving toward your goals.
Translation for Kids
Raise your hand if you’ve ever complained about the weather. It didn’t change just because you complained and criticized it, did it? The weather has a job to do and it does its job no matter what you say about it.
You must learn to act just like the weather. People will criticize you, but that shouldn’t stop you from work- ing hard toward your goals everyday. Learn to ignore criticism and you’ll see a clearer path to the future.
Remember to keep doing what is right, stay focused on your goals and continue to strive for success, even when others criticize.
Class Discussion for Kids
