If it’s a critic you’ll never be able to please, don’t try.
If it’s a critic you might be able to please, don’t try.
If it’s a critic you can please, don’t try.
There are two people we all mean to please: those who care and ourselves. Unfortunately we get confused about critics. We think mattering equals caring, and so we let them judge us, let them decide to pick us or not, let them control our progress (or worse yet, the direction of our progress).
Critics don’t care, friends do. And it’s easier to turn a stranger into a friend than it is a critic.
