If you are productive you will have enemies.

Perhaps even, the more productive you are, the more enemies you will make.

People who are particularly unproductive tend to think that the world owes them something.

As Carnegie used to write, "no one ever kicks a dead dog". Also, the more important the 'dog', the more satisfaction some people derive from kicking it. So unfounded and nasty criticism is probably best seen as validating that your work is making some impact.

Must remember that next time I get downvoted or roundly abused on here, thanks. Well, you know, when it's not deserved.

p.s. Was gonna ask "Which Carnegie?" but Google says Dale.

edit: Nice to see my work is making some impact. :-)
