Don't Take It Personally (continued)

When people are shooting arrows at you, just step out from in front of the target. It won’t do anyone any good if you let those barbs hit you. You will just get hurt. You have to let them reach their target. And see if they are on the mark and way off it.

If someone says something negative about you and it’s true, if they hit the bull's eye, no matter how it is said or what their intentions are, the best thing to do is admit it.

If someone says something negative about you and it’s not true, if they’re way off target, the best thing to do is stay calm and set them straight.
