Well if there is anything I have learned over the past number of years since I got involved with working with the public via my guide service, public speaking and writings is that you will have some folks that really like you, some that don't like you and some that could care less one way or the other.

When I first started getting feedback I would let it bother me when I received some harsh criticizm but I have learned over the years to take it in stride and try to learn from it if it was valid. On the other hand I have been embarrassed sometimes with praise that I felt was probably much more than I deserved and tried to not let it swell my head anymore than my regular hat size...lol. In other words, just try to be yourself and like bass fishing....learn from your mistakes and try to keep an open mind as to what works and what doesn't and remember that sometimes others perceive us to be totally different than we perceive ourselves to be.
