In a team, those who do not accept others' criticism can not succeed. (TOEFL essay) "If we do not hang together, we will all hang separately." The words of wisdom from Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States, directly show us the critical point of view that we need cooperation, that is to say, always being willing to accept others' criticisms. The following reasons will hereupon stand for my opinion on this topic. No one in this world has ever been perfect. Thus, from the acceptation of others' criticism and the introspection of us come the progress. Confucius once said, "Knowing your fault and correcting them, this is the braveness stronger than anything else." By sharp contrast, one who makes others' words in from one ear and out from the other will circumscribe him/her in a limited world, never gaining any improvement. Aside from the progress of our skill and academy, it is also the goal to maintain a good relationship with the team members that asks us to accept others' criticisms. Even though the criticisms are not always right, were we not to consider about them, we would hurt others’ enthusiasm to speak out their suggestions for us, therefore, losing the chance to acquire the trust of them. In this age of teamwork, those who don't realize the importance of cooperation are not qualified to be a real ‘global citizen’. I must admit that others' criticisms may from time to time be the impediment in our ways of success. Were we not to dare to challenge the criticisms of others, we could sometimes be smothered in the trend of mainstream, never achieving any truth, i.e., the real secret of nature. Our points may totally reverse with the public opinions. However, I want to point out that we must carefully analyze others' criticism before dropping them. How can the Apollo Project succeeded without the cooperation and the exchange of suggestions and criticisms among 20,000 scientists? Due to the forementioned reasons, I hold the opinion that we should hold the awareness of others' criticisms. Gradually, we will find that this is such a meaningful way to live a wonderful life.
