I'm comfortable in saying that anyone who has ever done anything of significance has been, at one time or another, unfairly criticized by those who believe they deserve a reward for finding fault.

The Key to Keeping Your New Year's Resolutions
Dear Jane, I want to make some New Year’s resolutions but I don’t want to set myself up for failure, which I’ve done in the past. How can I make sure that I succeed this time? Most of us use New Year’s resolutions as a way to try to boost our self-esteem. We think that if we lose weight, exercise, or pay off our credit card debt, we’ll feel better about ourselves. This seems logical but it’s actually backwards thinking. Why?

Are you sure you know who you're competing with?
In past times competitors clashed often enough to develop a sixth sense on each other's strengths, weaknesses and strategies to win business. In today's environment your competitor could be an adversary that you have no knowledge of whatsoever. The competition could be an international company, a new start-up, an internal customer team willing to do the work, or have the mandate to do nothing because of business pressures. The competition landscape has changed and will continue to offer challenges to all companies.
Appreciate Your Adversaries, III
Who are your "adversaries" these days? You probably have one or two (hopefully not a lot more than two) people who seem to oppose you in work, and in life. In some cases, your adversary sets himself in solid, committed opposition to you, and can't be dealt with in any way but to fight the good fight and defeat him. But for most of life's adversaries, I'd say it's better to first try a little appreciation....
How to Sell Anything to Anybody Face to Face
Selling, more than any other profession is s learning game. Doctor's and lawyers often refer to what they do as a "Practice." Selling is also practice. Product knowledge, phrasing, time management, flow of information, presentation skills are all part of the learning process of sales. Selling is not manipulation. Salespeople should think of themselves as "assistant buyers" to their customers or clients not a competitive adversary.

Appreciate Your Adversaries, V
This series has focused on how you can make your own life happier (and more productive) by learning to appreciate your adversaries. It's true: sometimes, you have to oppose and defeat a committed adversary; but you'll often do better by starting with a mindset of appreciation. See your opponent as just another human, like yourself. Find something good about her. And remember - from her perspective, you are the adversary... and you need to learn why....
Appreciate Your Adversaries, VI
Learn to recognize when your adversary is a person who's in a tough spot - but still your teammate - and when they're an enemy who needs to be defeated. Even if you think you can't turn the relationship around, remember that, for most of the adversaries you end up with, appreciation is the way to go. Especially if you're serious about being an inspirational leader. Get known as an appreciative leader, and you'll inspire everyone around you....
Appreciate Your Adversaries, VIII
No. You don't have to do this. You might do it anyway... we all do, sometimes... but you don't have to. You're bigger and better than that. And your unexpected (and undeserved) extension of kindness and patience might be just what your adversary needs to save his day, his month, his year, his job, or even his life....
Appreciate Your Adversaries, IX
You have an adversary or two in your life... someone who seems to oppose you at every turn... someone you're thinking about right now, without whom life would be so much easier. How have you dealt with that person? Have you tried showing him some kindness, or empathy, with the crazy notion that you might just turn the relationship around? Have you tried appreciation?
