Criticism is valuable... and self-congratulatory experiences are not.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In a way, a certain amount of self-criticism is a good thing, because it keeps you humble. Realizing that no matter what success you've achieved, you can still make enemies makes you humble, too.
Criticism is the art of appraising others at one's own value.
Criticism is part of the creative man's journey, and I appreciate it.
I have been both praised and criticized. The criticism stung, but the praise sometimes bothered me even more. To have received such praise and honors has always been puzzling to me.
Some critics are stimulating in that they make you realise how you could do better, and those are valued.
I can take criticisms but not compliments.
I don't care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.
I've learned not to attach personal feelings to critics who review your work. It's their opinions, their perceptions - it's a very subjective thing, and you can be hurt.
I love criticism just so long as it's unqualified praise.
I am not too serious about anything. I believe you have to enjoy yourself to get the most out of your ability. I can take the criticism with the accolades. Neither affects me.
