The bad news

You will be criticised.
You will be criticised for what you do, who you are, how you speak, how you act.
And there is no doubt that to some you will be found lacking.

You will be criticised if you stand up and speak for your values
and when you stay quiet.
You will be criticised if you succeed
and when you fail.
You will be criticised for perfect spelling 
and when you put the comma in the wrong place.
You will be criticised for working late
and finishing early.
You will be criticised for being too thin
and for being too fat
You will be criticised for doing too much
and for doing not nearly enough.

The bad news is that there is nothing you can do to make it go away.
The bad news is that there is nothing you can do that will stop this happening.

The good news is that there is nothing you can do to make it go away.
The good news is that there is nothing you can do that will stop this happening.

So do what you want, make yourself happy, live your dream, do it your way.
Because the best news when it comes to being criticised?
You don't have to listen!
