HITLAB Response
6yHITLAB takes all postings on Glassdoor seriously and our door is always open for all employees to make suggestions. In curating such an environment, we realize that what the monk and poet John Lydgate said in the 14th century still holds true today: “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.” With social media dominating discourse in all arenas, the old saying “everyone’s a critic” has never rung more true.
We at HITLAB would like to emphasize to all reading this that anything worth doing will draw a little criticism. To achieve something great – something you truly believe in – you have to be prepared to address the naysayers. Indeed, seeking critiques and addressing problem points for health-technology projects in development is a large part of what we do. Across the disruptive ecosystem, it can be helpful to keep centuries of sage advice in mind:
“To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.”
– Aristotle
“Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain – and most fools do.”
– Dale Carnegie
