Actress Marian Rivera, who recently snagged the lead role in the movie remake Super Inday and the Golden Bibe, said she respects veteran actress Vivian Velez’s opinion of her acting, PEP.ph reports. Vivian's comments on Marian's acting on Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang, an adaptation of the movie she starred in back in the 80’s in which she took the title role, were less than flattering. “Hindi bagay. Sorry, that is my [opinion]. Akin yun, e. Hindi bagay. Kasi alam n'yo nung ginagawa namin yung Hinugot, napaka-complex nung character nung babae, very very complex,” she was quoted as saying. “Si Marian kulang ng anghang. Si Marian kasi, mukhang mabait, di ba?"When asked for her reaction, Marian smiled gamely and said she didn’t blame the actress for saying what she did. “Lahat naman po tayo may personal na opinyon. So, irerespeto ko na lang siya,” she said in the article. “At wala naman sigurong masama sa sinabi niya dahil may binawi naman siya na angelic face ako o mukha akong mabait.” She added, “At least, hindi na humaba yung gulo kung anuman. At least natapos na doon lang.”
Like Marian, do you find yourself on the receiving end of criticism at work? Do you feel like it’s taking a blow on your self-esteem? Before you sulk in a corner or start complaining that your co-workers are ganging up on you, take a step back and try to see the criticism in a new light. Here FN gives you five tips to get you started.
1. DON’T TAKE IT PERSONALLY
When your boss or co-workers point out your mistakes, this doesn't mean that they're attacking you. This is just the most direct way they can give you feedback regarding your performance. Take note that they’re talking about your work, not you as a person. As long as they’re not lodging personal attacks against you that are obviously not work-related, you can safely assume that their criticism is meant to be for your betterment.
2. LEARN TO LISTEN
It’s only natural to hesitate when you hear negative comments but ignoring them will only be detrimental to your work, especially if your co-workers raise valid points. Listen and take in what they’re saying through an objective standpoint. Not everything they say might be right but that doesn't mean everything they say is unwarranted either. If your colleague was trying to correct your mistake and you refuse to listen, chances are you’ll make even bigger boo-boos in the future. Not good for your career!
3. ACCEPT YOUR FAULTS
As they say, nobody’s perfect. Accept that there will always be some things that you’ll get wrong no matter how thorough and dedicated you are to your work. Making mistakes is natural. The more you learn from them, the better you become. So stop being stubborn about perfection and welcome change with open arms.
4. DON’T LET IT GET YOU DOWN
So your colleague was right and you were wrong, and now you feel depressed thinking you’re no good at work. Don’t focus on the negative aspects and try to evaluate your colleague’s criticism as a whole. Stay positive and use this as motivation for improving yourself. If you keep thinking about the bad things, your work might start suffering and we all know that’s the last thing you want to do.
5. DON’T TAKE IT OUT ON YOUR COLLEAGUES
If, despite your best efforts, you still get hurt after a colleague’s criticism, don’t let these negative emotions take hold of your heart. You might end up taking out your frustration on your co-workers through hurtful words or talking about them behind their back. The best thing to do is to talk to them directly and tell them why you got hurt. Make sure that there are no lingering hateful feelings between the two of you.
