The pro tip is to attach your self worth not to your skill, but to it's first derivative!

That way any criticism that helps you improve your game, no matter how unpleasantly delivered, is a power up.

I say it glibly, like it's easy, but it works if one can internalize it.

I do like this (and the way you phrased it!) but I do think it has a dark side - there will come a time in your life where your skills plateau, and another time in your life where your skills start to decrease. Actually both of these will probably happen many times in your life!

It's important to recognize the ebb and flow and to be kind to yourself.

Hmm, thanks for putting into words something I have been doing unknowingly my entire life.
