No doubt we’ve all bumped into criticism. What’s the best way to handle it? Apparently, attitude makes all the difference:

“Good, great, universal art may be incomprehensible to a small circle of spoiled people, but certainly not to any large number of plain men.” ~ Leo Tolstoy

“Pay no attention to what the critics say; there has never been set up a statue in honor of a critic.” ~
Jean Sibelius

“I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is to try to please everyone.” ~ Bill Cosby

“This manuscript of yours that has just come back from another editor is a precious package. Don’t consider it rejected. Consider that you’ve addressed it ‘to the editor who can appreciate my work’ and it has simply come back stamped ‘Not at this address.’ Just keep looking for the right address.”
~ Barbara Kingsolver

“To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.” ~ Elbert Hubbard

“Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.”~ Kenny Rogers
