Would you correct my sentence, please.

Those who really deserve praise are the ones who are able to bear criticism.

Thanks in advance.

It seems grammatically fine to me, but there may be too many pronouns. I would have chosen this: The people who really deserve praise are those who are able to bear criticism.

Thanks, Mister but wouldn't it look better if i added an adverb at the end of the sentence like graciously for example?

If you like, but it is not a matter of 'better'-- it is a matter of what you wish to say on the subject.
