Everyone has heard of the Pulitzer Prize, but did you also know that there is a Pulitzer Prize specifically for criticism? Which is kind of interesting given how negatively criticism is viewed in the new millennium when all the people who have been raised to think they are extra special suddenly discover they are bog standard average - or worse. Apparently, the committee who awards the Pulitzer Prize thinks criticism is so valuable that the best in class are awarded a separate prize.
There are two ways to look at criticism. One is the knee jerk, "how dare you, of course I am right," millennial way, and the other is as a new piece of information that has the potential to improve your life.
Like everything in life, there are two sides and you get to choose. Choose wisely.
