So what if they hate your work!
I want to talk about something that many of us have experienced at some point in our lives. And that is having our work HATED by certain people. It could be a piece of art, a book, a song, or anything that we have created that didn't resonate with some individuals. Now, it's natural to feel discouraged or even frustrated when someone criticizes our work. However, I want to argue that having your work hated by certain people is actually a badge of honor. Let me explain why.
First of all, it means that your work has had an impact. It has made someone feel something, even if that feeling is negative. Think about it, if your work didn't elicit any emotion, it would be forgettable. But when someone hates your work, it means that it has stirred something within them, and that's powerful.
Secondly, it means that you're not playing it safe. You're taking risks and pushing boundaries with your work. And that's a good thing. If you only create things that please everyone, you're not really creating anything original or thought-provoking. You're just playing it safe.
Finally, having your work hated by certain people means that you're standing up for something. You're not afraid to express your opinion or share your vision, even if it goes against the norm. And that's admirable.So, if you ever find yourself in a situation where your work is being hated by certain people, don't let it bring you down. Instead, wear it as a badge of honor. It means that your work is making an impact, you're taking risks, and you're standing up for something. And that's something to be proud of.
