Why it's very important to develop a thick skin

[Barikui1]

In life you cannot please everyone, what Mr A might do in a certain situation is totally different for what Mr B will do, we as humans we just have to follow the right path and do the right thing.
It's very important that if you really want to succeed in life you must learn how to develop a thick skin, look at our leaders today, they go through all sort of criticism because there are certain policies that we doesn't agree too, but they still stand strong and keep on doing the work they were elected for.

Their are so many people out there that small criticism of how they are going wrong, they would want to run away, by resigning or quiting, but to be successful you need to understand that you cannot please everyone, and your decision making might be wrong which will definitely attracte criticism, but a man with thick skin will learn from it and move on instead of quitting.

Agreed this is why we should never base on another one’s success we often compare ourselves to what other people are doing and we feel as though there must be something wrong with what we are currently doing

This is something i have learned the past year and hopefully will be able to really execute this year I realize that being shy and timid will not get me anywhere if i get an opportunity might as well grab it be it an opportunity to voice out my opinion or opportunity that will benefit me

If you always listen to whatever they want to see from you, you cannot step forward or your progress will always be hindered if you learned to focus and always act like you are only hearing those words from someone who is retarded, you can always walk forward and make more productive days and you will wake up someday that you already reached your goal faster than you expected. Most of the time people always have their comments when things don't work for them because they gave up early but if you have high aspirations, you always reach your goals and are always ahead of them in every matter.

To succeed in every area of life, it is important to know how to handle criticism. This is because people will always speak against what you do even if it is right. We should learn how to treat these attacks because humans have different views about everything this is why you don't expect people to accept everything you say or do. But I am not comfortable with your expression that politicians should have a thick skin even when the people are speaking against policies. This assertion might mean that our leaders shouldn't heed the yearnings and aspirations of the people which is a sign of autoritarianism. Politicians should have a thick skin but they should be open to listening to the desire of the people.    

Their are so many people out there that small criticism of how they are going wrong, they would want to run away, by resigning or quiting, but to be successful you need to understand that you cannot please everyone, and your decision making might be wrong which will definitely attracte criticism, but a man with thick skin will learn from it and move on instead of quitting.

If you know that what you are doing is right, there is no need to give up. There will always be attackers that will want to kill a good vision or dream but we have to be able to separate between constructive criticism and calculated attacks. There is always light at the end of the tunnel if you don't give up on a good project.

Indeed, the destructive power of opinions, prejudices, words, etc. is very terrible, it can completely turn a weak person into a hurt person. I have witnessed the contempt of many people on social networks for the actor, and that actor chose to end his life. Indeed, they (the actor, the people who despise him) are all very pitiful, narrow-mindedness and ignorance make us easily make mistakes that are difficult to fix.

The power of reason is trained when we are forced to confront difficult challenges. I still maintain the attitude of teaching children about independence, that no one will help them better than they have to help themselves. To think well of society, you need to practice with difficulties to avoid surprises with unexpected situations.

Sometimes we get so worked up over a little criticism that we want to bail. But mistakes happen and not everyone will be on board with your choices. Having thick skin means learning from the bumps and just rolling with it instead of throwing in the towel. Tuning out the noise and staying focused on your goals is key. It's like putting on blinders to all the negativity. People might talk, but if you keep moving forward with determination and a positive mindset, you'll likely reach your goals faster. High aspirations and resilience can outpace the naysayers and setbacks, leading to a more productive and successful journey.

The younger generation is becoming more sensitive compared to kids from 'the 80s/'90s and it's mainly people of changes in parenting.

Accepting or ignoring others' comments will get better with maturity and experience which comes with age and socialization also depends on genes to some levels, so never expect everyone to have same behaviour of certain action.

Developing a thick skin and not caring about what others think of you is important. When we are overly concerned about others opinions it can hinder our ability to be authentic and make decisions based on our own values & desires. Having a thick skin allows us to maintain confidence in ourselves & our abilities enabling us to take risks and pursue our goals without being easily discouraged by criticism or judgment. It also promotes resilience which helps us bounce back from setbacks & maintain emotional stability. Prioritising our own self worth & happiness over others opinions leads to a more fulfilling & empowered life.

Why it's very important to develop a thick skin


But HOW to develop a thick skin is very important, too. Biotin works.

Try to please everyone and end up disappointing everyone, that's constant about this life, we cannot please everyone, but instead, we should concentrate on doing your best and leaving the rest, others will pick up from where we left next time, only those that have grown thicker skin could understand more about this that you can't please everyone at the same time, however, this is not a call to being inhumane or inconsiderate about life and other people around us, that could just be another way of doing injustice.

It is rather funny you bring this topic about developing and thick skin during this period of time and during the state of the western society, when people among the youngest generations seem to be getting as sensitive as possible to the point of having the thinnest skin possible.
When I was younger, I recall it was more difficult to make someone to feel offender by only speech or words throw at their faces in real life.
Nowadays, it would seem it is way easier to get to the nerves of people who one has not even met before and live thousands of miles away, it is what some call "triggering" others on the internet.

On one hand, I can understand there topics which are complex and can hurt the sensitivity of any reasonable human being, topics like death, war, Religion, race, etc. Those one can be careful enough to have a civilized conversation. On the other hand, it seems now just by giving our opinion about some topics is enough for someone to call us out and accuse us of anything on the internet, from being a facist/communist or a -phobic.

I miss those times when everyone used to have a thicker skin, to be honest. Though, I do not have the thickest skin among all the people here, so I could also work on it slowly.

Sometimes the society will not critize for wrong only, that's humans for us people will always have something to say and it's best to avoid such words and keep going. In a situation where the criticism is meant for correction then it's worth paying attention to, still because of criticism and fear of what people will say a lot of people has decide to remain stagnant and never wanting to leave their comfort zone.
If any criticism and correction is meant for good then we should take correction, Why should we learn to develop a thick skin in what ever we do cause if we let the society to talk and make comments then we still cannot grow from those mistakes then there's no growth.

[BADecker]

^^^ Right! So a thick skin isn't what is necessary. All it has to be is bullet proof.

[Essential10]

look at our leaders today, they go through all sort of criticism because there are certain policies that we doesn't agree too, but they still stand strong and keep on doing the work they were elected for.

Their are so many people out there that small criticism of how they are going wrong, they would want to run away, by resigning or quiting, but to be successful you need to understand that you cannot please everyone, and your decision making might be wrong which will definitely attracte criticism, but a man with thick skin will learn from it and move on instead of quitting.

People have different needs, desires and expectations, it is impossible to please everyone all the time. A successful politician must have thick skin to withstand criticism, personal attacks and pressure from various groups and individuals. Politicians are often in the public eye and subject to intense scrutiny and often harsh criticism. Thick skin helps them stay focused, confident and resilient in the face of adversity. This allows them to maintain composure and continue to lead and make decisions without being overly influenced by negative feedback or attacks.

Developing a thick skin is very important to move on to the next level in life, it'll help to absorb criticism and all sorts of negativities that can slow progress in life, so if someone wants to achieve greatness they'll have to accommodate all the criticism, learn what they can from them and move on. I remember my newbies days in this forum, I'll make some comments as a novice and some experienced members will rubbish the post without considering that the writer is a learner, I'll naturally feel hurt and discouraged, but in the end I'll develop the thick skin, learn from it and move on. If I had quit because of the negative remarks, I wouldn't have remained in this forum till today.

Living and basing your life on other people’s success is a bad thing to do. One thing I realize in life is that everyone’s path as been designed for them, you can only learn from other people’s path but you cannot become or do what they did in their own path. Life is all about learning and growing through what you’ve learnt. Life is an exam that has different questions on them even though you’re in the same class or level. Copying from your colleagues will only fail you since you have different questions. Let us all develop a thick skin and be very clear with our path and what we want to accomplish in this life.

[Obulis]

Not to forget, there is a  difference between being resilient and being wicked. Most of the these so called saboteurs do not care about leadership and that makes them wicked. They more less selfish.
Being resilient is a key to self growth internally and externally.

It's normal to see that with some sort of correction, they'll cry and will quit their jobs. That's normal and I think that they're just being welcomed by the reality and they haven't dealt with it when they are younger. Having a thick skin or being open with rejections and corrections will make you survive longer this world. Because you'll never know that the person that's correcting you is just looking for someone to mentor and pass on the throne of the position that he's taking care of in the corporation.

And when that guy finds you worthy of it as he's taught you all that he's learned other the period of time and his stay with the company, there is no other people that shall be passed on with the throne and position but that person being corrected and taught secretly by that person through criticism. Me, I am thankful with all of the past companies that I've worked with especially with the boss that I have when this matter has been told to me about taking criticisms and how far you'll go into this world when you absorb them as something helpful.

Whether we want people interest in mind, it is always obvious to the society if the government have something interesting to offer.
Yes we have to create a thick skin for ourselves and that does not mean we have to be mean to other people.
The way some leaders and taking there  government agenda into reality, we can conclude that they have not plans for the average people.
In respect of all these problems we are facing in the world by the government and how they plan to lead the people, we should not be disturbed at all.
