There was a This American Life where an author got in his head about bad reviews on Amazon, so he clicked one of the profiles of people who'd given him 2 stars, and found that she had given 5 stars to a lavender polka dot cupcake stand. And from then the bad reviews didn't affect him so much.

    In my country we have a saying: "You can't please both Greeks and Trojans" (which, to be Historically correct, should have been Athenians and Trojans)

    Anyways, the point is that there will always be somebody who doesn't like you or something you do even whilst others will.

    No point in trying to please everybody and caring about what everybody things.
