Criticism by the jealous and the weak-minded. How do you deal?

I may not be able to prevent people from attacking my honour. I think I'm dealing with it well to ignore and turn away from their criticism.
A poet said :
"When the fool speaks, then do not respond to him, For silence is better than to answer him."
I think I do what is right, turn my back to every vulgar criticism. I just don't like to create further noise and fuss. It does get me upset sometimes. But the pain is soon forgotten. For even doctors, wise men, scholars are weak and unable to defy or to change that which has been decreed. For me it is only upon myself to forbear for a short time and to be patient.
Another poet said :
"Perhaps a way out will come, perhaps, We comfort ourselves with perhaps, So do not despair when you meet with affliction that weakens your spirit, Since the closest one comes, To relief, when he loses all hope."

The more you are criticised, the more stronger your belief will be on your abilities and talents. No worthless person is criticised. Only talented people face criticism. I take criticism as something that stimulates me and gives me fillip to work harder than ever to prove my detractors wrong. I use their negative remarks as springboard to reach further heights of success. I don't need to take revenge from my detractors, for they are burning themelves. Jealousy and envy does nothing but burn the person who is jealous of others.

As long as you think what you are doing is right, it doesn't matter what other people say. I don't like it when people assume you are one sort of person and you aren't at all. I told someone that my boyfriend and I were going to try for a baby after we get married and she started laughing. I asked her why and she said that I would be the worst person to ever to become a mum. My best friend couldn't believe it either as she knows that since I was 11, I'd helped raise my brother and sister's kids as well as some of my friends. I'm great with kids but because this person hadn't known me long enough to even see me with a baby, she didn't know me at all. I was going to go mad at her but I knew that one of my friends would be turning up soon with her new born baby, so I just smiled and nodded. When Kelly and her baby Jake turned up, Kelly said "Can you please take Jake for 5 minutes while I run to the shop?" She handed me Jake and ran out leaving my so called friend open mouthed that anyone would leave their baby with me. So don't take any offence by what someone says about you or your ideas, because in the end, you'll proove them wrong.
