I really liked that thought: "It takes sun and rain for a flower to grow".

Beautiful.

I think the same way, I accept constructive criticism, because it allows us to make an introspection of ourselves and realize what our faults are.

Destructive criticism, I listen to it and analyze it and I keep what helps me to grow and improve. With what adds to me.

But I stay away from what hurts me, because even if it is true that a flower needs rain and sun to grow, it would not be good for it if they throw poison at it.

I liked your entry. I wish you much success.
