I'm going to post that on my wall so whenever I'm having a "pity party" for myself because I'm not pleasing everyone around me, I'll remember the three groups of people! Thanks!

Yours was just a final piece in my thought process that was started by my granddaughter's innocent question. The article is called ""What Other People Think About You Is None Of Your Business."

To use abusive language, rather than accurate, constructive criticism, is a clear signal that this is someone who enjoys putting others down; perhaps they like to feel superior, perhaps they just need to feel that there are people out there they can attack (note also that he didn't address his criticism towards you; which makes it pretty safe for him). So although I agree with what you are saying about mediocrity, sometimes it just isn't about you. But it says a lot about him. Clearly he cares more about impressing his readers with language of power than any actual debate on happiness in the workplace.

Last week, I got a comment from a reader who said that my writing was schizophenic rantings. The person wrote me 2 emails to my personal email address. They didn't post a comment on my blog. I answered the first email. At the end of the second email, this person added, "Oh by the way, this is not my email and this is not my name." I can understand some reasons for anonymity but this goes beyond that. I was upset for one night. Then I decided that all of the good comments far outweighed whoever this coward was who couldn't even give me his/her name. I deleted the 2 emails and did not answer the second. I also deleted his subscription to my blog. That person doesn't need to read my schizophrenic rantings if they are going to be so upset by it. Have a glorious day and thanks for writing this article.

Those that absolutely love you, those that think you're allright and those that don't like you at all. If you try to change to suit the third group, and you can, you'll end up with three groups of people around you. Those that absolutely love you, those that ... Remain your authentic self.

So, as much criticism as you might get can never be enough to get your happiness away if you have the right mindset.

Timely for me as I just got my first negative (DIScouraging comment) the other day. I felt kicked in the gut and it had me down for part of the day. Then I finally realized that it takes a pretty sad person to read the Career ENCOURAGEMENT Blog and shoot off a negative message. So I gleaned the feedback that was useful, and moved on. Yours is a blog for the emotionally compentent (or those on their way to that productive, mature state of mind) - don't change the message! :-) Great post.
