How do you handle critics?

I really like criticism. In fact, I thrive on it. I have the mindset that if I'm not learning or improving myself in some way, then I'm wasting time.

Having been a graphic design major, I learned to take criticism very well. It's always good to listen to someone else's ideas on your work and see how the view it--because even if their view of it is wrong, it's still their view and others might possibly see it the same way--even if it is so horribly wrong.

I actually hate praise. I'd rather have harsh technical criticism just so I know where I can improve. Cause everyone has an idea of what they'd do something different. And they're all things to be considered, BUT not always followed through on.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
