I'm like lying on my bed and can't sleep again. Well, I just thought of some stuff that normal people should get defensive or even pissed.
Its about how you react towards criticism. I always believe that people are different, their environment being brought up, things they like and many other factors. In music, there are so many kinds of different genre and applies to people too. Therefore, different character, different interest makes different song.
The point is, I never think I'm good at anything because I know there are so many people out there that are better. So, I'm always open to criticisms to help myself improve. Be it if it is constructive or not. Because the public sees you. You can have 1001 excuses saying or thinking that you know more those who criticise. But you can never deny the fact that you need these people to define whether you are good or not. Even if they are not as good as you, you still need them. You need them to agree that you are good.
Therefore no matter what people say, it is a need to reflect and try to improve. But not getting affected by them, start being emo and stuff. Don't waste time emo-ing because you ought to meet people like this everywhere. Even if people doesn't support you, as long as you know what you want. People who put you down are people who mould you to become better. They are better than your teacher and they are greater credits to your future.
People succeed because they look at things in different perspective. They accept comments openly. They are magnanimous. They are open to changes. They are flexible. And most importantly, they are not complacent after they achieve their goal.
I know people always say that don't take uncontructive critics seriously. But to me, if there is still that one person who says that you are not good, then you are not the best. If you are not the best, then you still need to improve because there is room for improvement. I'm not saying I want to be the best. I just want to emphasise that one should never stop having the desire to improve. Sounds really competitive but you need motivation like this to strive better lest you will remain stagnant.
And I got a feeling I gonna reach my bottleneck again....
