"If you're doing anything interesting in the world, you are going to have critics. You can't stop it. Move forward. It's not worth losing any sleep over."

 -Jeff Bezos.

People will always be jealous of your success. To them it seems that you’ve earnt your reputation overnight, but you know that you’ve been putting the time in to achieve your goals for years. It’s only now that people are beginning to hear of you, and success and fame also come with publicity in all forms. You might not be able to do everything perfectly, but at least you can learn from your mistakes. You can use the criticism to make improvements ready for the next time. If not, you need to put it behind you and move on, unless you can see that there’s a plausible gain from attacking your critics. You might get satisfaction from this, but it might also change other people’s opinions of you which could affect your future. And if you’re going to reflect on every little bad thing that happens to you, you’ll run out of opportunities to make progress.
