It is also quite all right to be pleased with myself when I figure out why something did not turn out well.

I am also pleased with myself when I finish something - even if the project has a few glitches.

I may be a critic of my work - but I have chosen to say that I am my "best" critic - because I may be one of the more aware ones of what worked - and what needs to be worked on - for next time.
