Female: You are always going to be criticized when you put something
out there because no one is ever going to have consensus on
every single thing that they do. I had criticism when my book
came out, and I expected that. You have to be grateful for the
criticism sometimes too, because it makes you better, it gives
you different perspectives to think about for next time. The
criticism that I don't like is the anonymous criticism that you
get.
I've actually received death threats before, for my work in
empowering women and speaking out about empowering women in
developing countries. I get more and more hate mail and people
telling me that I should stop doing what I'm doing, that I
should shut up. You just have to roll with it and to be really,
really strong in what you are doing. My friend Gabby Bernstein
and a couple others, they say, "Forgive and Delete," and that's
exactly what I do.
