To the various contexts in which one may have their work reviewed or critiqued, remember that you know your own work better, and that one speaks under the guise that you listen. Many know the state of their work, they know it is well and good and whether it can be significantly improved upon. Some may even go so far as to stress that their work defies the imagination of the reviewer and would hence be treated as garbage. Within all scopes of understanding, it matters more how you perceive your growth in your work. The reviewer can have any opinion they please, such is formed within the absence of fact. Take criticism that serves your progression, coming from another persona that has something in that field to which you’d like to have too, here is where you take criticism. The fool becomes when they take advice from the fool.

Meditate.
