Deathsquad: The Ice House Chronicles #20

Joe Rogan: Sometimes when someone says something to you, and they’re correcting you, they might be right, but that’s not why they’re correcting you. They’re correcting you because they’re psyched that they found something that you fucked up on. Or they’re psyched that they found something that’s a weakness in you. And its really hard to accept advice from those kind of people: people who say things cunty.

Like I am really sensitive to the fact that when I give some advice I try to, unless I’m like trying to defuse some crazy drunken social situation, I try to give them advice in the most humble and easy-going way of explaining that, you know, I have been through this exact same fuck up. "Just look at it like this, this is what helped me." I’m like really sensitive. 

But some people aren’t. And some people when they’re correcting you, the reason why they’re correcting you is because they want to make you feel like shit. They don’t like you shining in front of them, they don’t like something that’s good. And they might be right, they might have found something, but they’re so psyched that they found something wrong in your game. They’re psyched that they found something wrong in the way you tell jokes.

The real key to life is to turn those people into your employees. Every one of your haters, every one of your critics, or anyone who gives you maybe even good advice but maybe in a cunty voice. Those people work for you. And what they do is they give you even more incentive. They provide a free resource. The most important resource maybe ever, and that’s motivation. Those people provide motivation to prove them wrong. So these cunts actually work for you.
