Critics critic

How many of us take compliments or comments to the extreme of being overly competitive? I hate to admit this but realized that I do because each and every time Ryan express his critics towards my cooking, I felt somewhat sensitive and hurt (for those failing results or imperfect dishes). For an example this particular dish which, everything was okay except that the chicken does not absorbs the sauce well enough and that only spells one reason, it needs longer cooking time... Sigh, lately I have been rushing up many things and try to get it done at fast as possible. Well, I guess that I need to take it easy else I’ll have a shorter life span in no time ;D. Anyhow, despite the comments, I usually made corrective initiative to fix it at the next attempt. I must say that it is always hard for me to accept correction immediately in the first place.. it takes courage to listen and improve nevertheless, and I must say that this is the biggest challenge and victory in every person not the end result :D
