Everyone’s a critic, right? But in reality how their criticism affects you is up to you. Some folks are overly critical, others overly lenient. Some people think every word they tell you is spot on, while others are too afraid to say much of anything.

The best way to handle criticism is with a smile and a thank you. Eventually you’ll sort out what’s what and which is helpful and which is junk. The goal is not to judge the critics - the goal is to sift the input for anything useful.
