In any field, it's a plus if you view criticism as potentially helpful advice rather than as a personal attack.

More quotes by Chris Hadfield
Loneliness... has very little to do with location. It's a state of mind. In the centre of every city are some of the loneliest people in the world... because our whole planet was just outside the window, I felt even more... connected to the seven billion other people.
Chris Hadfield
Square astronaut, round hole. But somehow, I'd managed to push myself through it, and here was the truly amazing part: along the way, I'd become a good fit. It had only taken 21 years.
Chris Hadfield
Almost everything worthwhile carries with it some sort of risk, whether it's starting a new business, whether it's leaving home, whether it's getting married, or whether it's flying in space.
Chris Hadfield
We are not machines exploring the universe, we are people.
Chris Hadfield
For the last several years and culminating in six months in orbit next year, I've been training for my third space flight. This one is almost in a category completely different than the previous two, specifically to live in on the space station for six months, to command a space ship and to fly a new rocket ship.
Chris Hadfield
As I have discovered again and again, things are never as bad (or as good) as they seem at the time.
Chris Hadfield
Every single day you're the result of what you did on the days prior.
Chris Hadfield
Success is feeling good about the work you do throughout the long, unheralded journey that may or may not wind up at the launch pad. You can't view training solely as a stepping stone to something loftier. It's got to be an end in itself.
Chris Hadfield
It's good to have a fear of heights. I mean, it's kind of crazy not to because if you just lean out a little bit and there's a gust of wind or somebody bumps you or something and you fall, you're splat.
Chris Hadfield
To me, it's not about being anywhere, but being able to change my perceptions and experience something new.
Chris Hadfield
I've had a chance to fly a lot of different airplanes, but it was nothing like the shuttle ride.
Chris Hadfield
Almost everything worthwhile carries with it some sort of risk.
Chris Hadfield
Anticipating problems and figuring out how to solve them is actually the opposite of worrying: it's productive.
Chris Hadfield
There's really just one thing I can control: my attitude during the journey, which is what keeps me feeling steady and stable, and what keeps me headed in the right direction. So I consciously monitor and correct, if necessary, because losing attitude would be far worse than not achieving my goal.
Chris Hadfield
The Moon has given us months, tides and a destination that ever-beckons. It's time we build a rocket and go to stay.
Chris Hadfield
It’s not enough to shelve your own competitive streak. You have to try, consciously, to help others succeed.
Chris Hadfield
Imbibe three or four times as much water as you think you need and skip at least one, if not two meals, when you are travelling. You should arrive at your destination feeling slightly hungry and your digestive system reset.
Chris Hadfield
I've been lucky enough to fly to space twice.
Chris Hadfield
Competence means keeping your head in a crisis, sticking with a task even when it seems hopeless, and improvising good solutions to tough problems when every second counts. It encompasses ingenuity, determination and being prepared for anything.
Chris Hadfield
If you start thinking that only your biggest and shiniest moments count, you're setting yourself up to feel like a failure most of the time.
