If I had to choose to listen to critics of my work, I would, definitely, choose from my personal list of critics, which only contains TWO categories:
MY CUSTOMERS:- Who would, probably, say: "Wow!, nice work! ( Even if it isn't ). My wife is going to love it. Here is your check and thank you."
OR
MY PEERS: - ( MY FAVORITE ) Who, most of the time, would say: "Hey dummy, you put the shading on the wrong side of that letter....and while you are at it, fix that damn script......It looks like crap."
So, there you have it.....Those are my favorite categories of critics.......The others, well..........
