Mercy Johnson-Okojie has opened up about criticism in both her personal and work life as well as what success means to her. In the interview with City People Magazine, the actress looked back to her humble beginnings as the biggest part of what drives her to keep achieving despite all odds.
On if she is distracted by criticism: “Haaa! I couldn’t have been distracted. For several reasons. One, because I grew up knowing what Tears and Hunger mean. One of my biggest phobias was failure.
Because 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. The criticisms you get mostly are not constructive.
They are just bitter. When you see the one that is just bitter you know.”
