The statement, "To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing" is considered one of anti-advice and has been attributed to the ancient Greek sage Aristotle. He reportedly told others that it means the only way in which you will not be criticized by others or your peers is by actually doing nothing at all. "A person who is energetic, agile, and ready to engage in physically pursuits will always be criticized by others no matter the age, gender, or occupation of the person."

In the 21st century, experts have given us some steps on how can you avoid of handle criticism as required. They say that it is best to control your reaction, try not to take it personally, process the criticism, give yourself some grace time, show some appreciation, show some humility, apologize conservatively as needed, and do not dwell on the criticism. Aristotle, it is believed, would most likely support these ideas and he would also, as his personal history notes, look for completeness of action, unity of time on when the person acts, and an emotional impact from the person.
