Today's Stoic Thought

“Can you take criticism and use it constructively?”
Robert Greene

Certainly! When someone offers criticism at work about your presentation style, instead of taking it personally, you can consider their feedback objectively and see it as an opportunity for growth. For example, if a colleague suggests that you speak too quickly during meetings, you can practice slowing down your pace and notice how it improves your communication and connection with others.

The ear that listens to life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise.
Proverbs 15:31 ESV

The verse from Proverbs encourages receiving criticism with wisdom and using it constructively, which aligns with the Stoic pillar of Wisdom. By embracing feedback and seeking opportunities for improvement, individuals can grow in understanding and make positive changes in their behavior.
