made up your mind to achieve a certain goal, such as writing a novel, don’t let the negative

criticism of others prevent you from reaching your purpose and let constructive criticism

have a positive (26)... on your work. If someone says you’re totally lacking talent,

ignore them. That’s negative criticism. If, however, someone advises you to revise your
