Prince was an amazing Artist and took criticism to heart Because he liked to Learn new things from Mistakes.
I think it is very cool that someone as talented and prolific as Prince was interested in recieving good critiques from people he admired and considered smart. He was able to use these thoughts to better his music and art and grow more and more as a creative person. We can all do this and instead of being embarassed or mad at criticism, we can use it and allow it to make us more successful and happy.
