Criticism comes to those who stand out.

Criticism, Standing Out

Seth Godin (2009). “Purple Cow, New Edition: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable”, p.50, Penguin

One bad review doesn't ruin my day because I realize what a badge of honor it is to get a bit of criticism at all.

Honor, Criticism, Ruins

Seth Godin (2008). “Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us”, p.47, Penguin

If you're remarkable, then it's likely that some people won't like you. That's part of the definition of remarkable. Nobody gets unanimous praise - ever. The best the timid can hope for is to be unnoticed. Criticism comes to those who stand out. Playing it safe. Following the rules. They seem like the best ways to avoid failure. Alas, that pattern is awfully dangerous. The current marketing “rules” will ultimately lead to failure. In a crowded marketplace, fitting in is failing. In a busy marketplace, not standing out is the same as being invisible.
