Don't become too proud of the work that you display. Overfeeding your ego will cause your merit to decay. You mustn't starve your modesty or **** self criticism. It's only when you're humble that your work is worth the listen.
True beauty comes from the sharing of feelings, not the seeking of praise. We're all struggling together; none of us are perfect. A big head will keep you from embedding grace in your work and appreciating it in others.
