听力原文: The solution,both to prevent the excesses of praise and the humiliation of criticism,is to stop caring what other people think of you. Take what is actionable from their feedback and ignore the rest.Since you are the sole captain of your life,don't allow others to steer the ship.If I write an article,I generally receive a mix of positive comments and negative comments.For criticism,I seek out any actionable suggestions from their comments.If someone notes that I made a grammatical mistake in an article,I'll happily correct it.Or,if someone feels the logic of my argument was weak,I can make efforts to correct it in a future discussion of the topic.For praise,I take a similar approach.I thank the person for their comment,and see if there is anything actionable from their suggestion.If several people enjoyed a topic,I'll know it is something readers are interested in and worth discussing again.What I strive not to do,with both praise and criticism,is to let it get under my skin.If someone writes an attack on my writing,I'll remind myself that this comment is just a small stone on my course,and not to allow it to stop me.Similarly,if I get a piece of praise,I'll remind myself that this is just one view,and not to let it distract me from the bigger goal.
