“We must learn to live with praise and criticism so as not to suffer from them. We take praise and criticism as motivation to move forward. When people praise us, we should reflect on ourselves to avoid hubris, which could cause our failure. When people criticize us, we should also reflect on ourselves to draw lessons and gain experience from it. Then, we will strengthen our inner power and live more resiliently." ー Thay Thich Truc Thai Minh
