"The best way to relate to criticism of your work is to profit from it. As a beginner, you must realize that you have much to learn and that persons with some experience in the theatre can be of great help to you. While well-intended and constructive criticism is obviously going to be the most helpful to you, you can learn from callous criticism as well - as long as you filter it properly. The important things are not to take criticism too personally and not to waste a lot of time defending yourself. In the long run, it means little if the criticism is fair or unfair. If you can learn from it, use it. If you can't learn from it, forget it. All criticism is subjective in the final analysis, and you're not going to please everybody. You should be aiming at steady growth, ... ... Any suggestions or critiques that you can turn to your advantage are not only to be dealt with, they should be sought after with persistence. The finest actors do not try to avoid criticism; they solicit it."
Acting One, fourth edition, p.9, Robert Cohen
What a good attitude!
... ...
有時, 心平氣和且真誠小心地指出別人錯誤的,
會反被扣上"罔顧他人感受". "自大" 等罪名.
Then, just
"do not to take criticism too personally and
do not to waste a lot of time defending yourself".
It is because
"All criticism is subjective in the final analysis,
and you're not going to please everybody."
Maybe they are not "the finest",
so they "try to avoid criticism", "take criticism personally"
and "waste a lot of time defending themselves".
I used to believe that everybody is the finest.
I used to thought that no one in the world
does not try their best to be perfect.
But now I have learnt from the criticism.
