When someone is angry with you, try to find out the cause of the problem. It could be due to something which you have done. If you have made a mistake, admit it and apologize for your wrong action. If it is due to a misunderstanding, have a heart to heart talk with that person and be willing to resolve the differences. On the other hand, if the anger has arisen because of jealousy or emotional problems on the part of the other party, you should not reply anger with anger, though this is a natural tendency. Wars do not end wars. They only give rise to more vengeance. At best, they result in an unjust settlement. Overcome anger with loving kindness. This is by no means easy to perform. And this implies some degree of self control: to conquer your own anger for the sake of happiness and peace.

Very well said my friend.
Like you said, when someone is angry with you, deal with it in a nice way. Try to talk with person , why he/she is angry with you. But it would be better, to talk to him/her when he/she has calmed down.
That way, you both can settle the matter. Apologize, if you have offended him without you knowing it. It's best to be humble and controlled.

In my view of opinion criticism should not be taken as harmful and demoralizing.It can also be viewed in a positive way.In fact criticism can spur us to do better.One of the keys to sucess in life is the ability to accept criticism in a graceful way.We may find it as rude and hard to accept.But in fact in criticism there's a nugget of gold and honest feedback and suggestion for improvement.We should see it as an opportunity to improve.In fact criticism for me is a blessing and it is the only ladder to correct myself and excel in life.If we cannot accept criticism then we are still yet to be mature.

If I made mistake I can admit it and apologize. I know that I'm not perfect person and I have no monopoly on knowledge. But If other person made mistake and don't want to admit it and say sorry I will be angry but I will no show my anger. I will avoid that person in the future.
