There is a lot of pull her down syndrome in our society, we are so quick to judge and criticize other people’s successes. How do celebrities who are constantly in the spotlight handle this?

In an interview with City People, Mercy Johnson shares how she handles destructive criticisms, here are three quotes we love from her interview;

1. "People will keep criticising when they want exactly what you have. They hate and they talk, but they want what you have. They crave to have what you have. So when they talk, the only way to shut them up is to even do better and up your game."

2. "We are in an environment where people who have boils all over their faces will look at me that has just 1 pimple on my cheek and try to tell me what cream to use. People hide in the shadow and say stuff."

3. "Nobody can make me go back now. So it’s like hate all you want, I am moving. So you are just going to stay there and keep talking and I am ahead of you."
