In this job, you accept criticism and give answers on the field.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a lot of criticism in this job and what we do. It's in front of everybody and for everybody to have their own opinion about what we do. Don't be in this position if you can't handle that criticism.
My job is to listen and to ask questions and to be respectful and win the trust of my subjects so that I can work my way into their memories and their point of view.
This is my job and I respect it enough to concentrate on it.
I do not take to the field to defend myself from certain criticisms. If I do, in this kind of career, it is because I'm very self-critical.
I have a lot of respect for what I do, for this profession.
Self criticism must be my guide to action, and the first rule for its employment is that in itself it is not a virtue, only a procedure.
My job is to write opinions. I decide cases and write opinions. It is not to respond to idiocy and critics who make statements that are unfounded. That doesn't mean that people shouldn't have constructive criticisms, but it should be constructive.
I know how to make decisions and stand up to the criticism every day.
I demand excellence from the people I work with.
The job is to ask questions-it always was-and to ask them as inexorably as I can. And to face the absence of precise answers with a certain humility.
