Nothing important is for everyone. When we encounter a thoughtful critic, we need to quickly understand who is speaking to us. If the work we made was intended for someone just like this, and they don't like it, we need to do a better job next time. The criticism will help us understand how to improve. But if the work we made wasn't for someone with the hopes, needs and expectations of the person we're hearing from, we can forgive ourselves (and them) by acknowledging who it's for and why.Source: Seth Godin's Daily BlogREFLECTION:Do you try to please everyone?Do you consider the source of criticism or is criticism criticism?Do you need to do a better job of discerning your audience?

But give him a question and he'll look for his own answers.”It's not the answers that open the mind, it's the questions.Quote by Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's FearREFLECTION:How curious are you?Do you have more answers than questions?Do you give more answers (advice) than asking questions?What more effective advice/answers or questions?Practice asking more questions!
