Favorite Piece of Advice
- Don't get bogged down by the moment. Life can seem tough and hard, but take a deep breath. Give it a chance.
- If you act happy, don't take criticism as an insult. Some people don't know how to react to art. Examine what they say and see if there is any truth to what they say. If they made a point, learn from it. If not, ignore it and move on. Don't be petty. Be the better person and forget them.
