Your professional and personal success depends on your ability to take criticism.
The underlisted points are other ways on how to respond to criticism. 


Access the aim of the critis

Knowing the goal or intention of a critis will give you an idea of how to to get it right, no one is perfect, to get the needed results you will have to overlook the manner at which the criticism was being passed. You will have to listen to the negative feedback objectively. A close consideration of your strengths and weaknesses could help you to accept or approach criticism with an open mind.
For example someone might say "you don't always pray for your food before eating, that is too bad''. When you consider this statement positively, you will realise that the person could actually be dealing with his/her personal issues. It shows they were not really talking about you. Try to aways know the the truth behind every negative statement that is directed to you.

When you apologize it shows you can always be trusted next time, when you are given a task to handled. Apology shows responsibility and maturity, apologising does not show weakness rather it shows strength.

Don't take things personal when being corrected
