Not everyone is going to like you.

And that's ok.

THREAD: 7 steps for dealing with criticism - The right way.
I've had a good run.

Since becoming active on Twitter this year, I've gone from 0-20K followers.

While I remain a mixture of excited, optimistic, & frankly unsure why anyone is following me at all, one thing has come to my attention:

Everyone won't like what I have to say.
With this in mind, I began to wonder...

What are the best ways to handle negative feedback when it comes our way?

Warren Buffet calls him his hero.

He's known as the "James Bond" of philanthropy.

THREAD: The story of Chuck Feeney-The man who gave it all away...

$8. Billion. Dollars.
Meet Charles Francis Feeney.

Born in 1931 during the height of the Great Depression, Feeney was the son of Irish-American parents.

Raised in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Charles (or "Chuck" as he's commonly known) was bitten with the entrepreneurial bug early on.
As a child, he earned extra money shoveling snow for neighbors & selling Christmas cards door to door.

After graduating high school in 1949 he would go on to enlist in the U.S. Air Force.

There, he worked for 4 years as a radio operator stationed in Japan during the Korean War.
