I agree with the honesty part, but if you are basing your self-worth on the ability to roll up on someone in a Maserati...

Of course I'm being partially facetious here. The point is to take negative feedback as a challenge and use it as motivation.

I'm not much of a Rand guy, but I think Roark's response is the best: "But I don’t think of you."

Yeah, ya know, I was just watching The Fountainhead again last week and that scene really jumped out at me. I do admire that outlook, but I also find value in choosing to use doubters doubts as motivation. I know it seems contradictory but it works for me.
