You can draw value from a naysayer or cynic by remaining objective and positive in your thinking. (yes, it can be tough)
Occasionally, they’ll point out valid hurdles or challenges you haven’t seen. With their help, if you can remain objective (and keep your ego in check), you’ll have a better chance of getting something valuable from the interaction.
“To avoid criticism, do nothing,
say nothing, be nothing.”

Occasionally, they’ll point out valid hurdles or challenges you haven’t seen (even if they present it like an @ss). With their help, if you can remain objective/detached (and keep your ego in check), you’ll have a better chance of getting something valuable from the interaction.
Stay objective. Be no ego. Get value.
“A burning passion coupled with absolute detachment is the key to
all success.”

“Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.”
–William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
English playwright and poet
With everything, there’s a line.
On one side of the line is a greater chance to make good things happen (better results, better relationships, more responsibility). This is where you’ll find all those people you admire.
On the other side, there’s less of a chance.
And with each line, there’s a choice. You want to cross the line or you don’t. You want the better chance at making good things happen (meaningful things) or you settle with the lesser chance.
Your choice.
It seems simple but…
Then there’ll be those times. Those times when in the short run it’ll seem like you can’t cross the line (no matter what you do).
