There is a man selling his last name. He’s ready and willing to take whatever last name YOU assign to him, for the right price. The bidding starts at buymylastname.com.

This isn’t so strange if you know the man, Jason Sadler (or whatever you or any other winning bidder chooses for him to use through 2013). He’s already had three last names, as his mother apparently married, remarried, and remarried again until this year’s divorce.  There might be some other circumstances, but at least a couple of marriages and divorces seem evident.

“Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. 
It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.”
~ Winston Churchill

Learning how to accept criticism is crucial for personal improvement. It’s the most direct way to discover what you need to improve.  However, accepting criticism can be emotionally challenging. After all, we’re only human and most people don’t enjoy hearing negative things about themselves.  It’s hard to not take criticism personally.  The first step towards self-improvement is to be fully aware of your strengths.
