Being ridiculed

Oscar Wilde was right.

Ridicule is the tribute paid to the genius by the mediocrities.

So was Scott Ginsberg. Click here to read his whole blog post.

 

"First, consider it an honor to be criticized.

Second, you’re nobody until somebody hates you.

Third, anything worth doing is worth being attacked for.

Fourth, if your dream isn’t being attacked, it isn’t big enough.

Fifth, if everybody loves your work, you’re doing something wrong.

Sixth, if nobody hates your work, you’re not being honest enough."

 

Remember: People who attack your work are terrified of attending to their own misery. So keep your head up and keep doing what you love.
