Michiko Kakutani is the Pulitzer Prize winning literary critic of the New York Times. Extremely revered by many with alot of people taking her opinions very seriously.
And whilst it's important to take on board the thoughts of others.. it's the thought of yourself, late at the night, when you are all alone, that you need to be most impressed with.
After all, you are the only one, who knows the real you and if you don't like you - you'll struggle to keep others as fans for long.
Ask yourself, if 8 year old you met you as you are now, a grown up - would she be impressed?
That's the critic you should be taking notice of.
