what is the meaning...

 of this quote:

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings


The quote could mean many different things to different people.  There are times when people need to depend on others to fulfill their needs.  But our strongest strength is given when we use our own strength to lift us up.  When we lift others up with our own strength, we build up our own ability to soar.

When haters criticize you

 This is a journal entry: Sometimes it seems that haters pick on the minimal elements of disorganization that I cannot change.  They may criticize something that they are jealous of such as children I have or the facts that I have ability that they do not have.  I have learned not to take their words seriously and just need to brush them off.  It doesn't help me to get seriously mad with those who criticize because they may become a "friend" in time.  They who criticize are more like their own trouble than they realize.  I really don't like it when those who criticize bring money or lawyers into the picture.  In some ways they bring the problems on themselves.  I am thankful for the gospel account because in it Jesus says clearly love those who hate you and do all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake.
