First of all I want to confess that only a master craftsman can create the piece that's just the way it was required. 
I am saying this because some time back I wrote a post A hard to please customer equals A Moron. It was about the people who are self proclaimed critics (at many instances even I behave like this). Now these critics are always looking on the dark side of the things. They feel something is wrong because it is not the way they felt it should be. While writing this I found myself at the loss of words. This word loss produced a post which I myself found a bit harsh (I really hate to write harsh things). Now yesterday while I was watching Ratatouille a Brad Bird directed English Animation. And then I realized that what is a truly superb writing written by a true craftsman. Here is one dialogue from the movie which talks about the issue of Critics and their responsibilities. Its actually the way I thought I'll write the post and it goes like this
"In many ways the work of us as a critic is very easy. We risk very little. Yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that in a grand scheme of things the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so."
How beautifully written and conveyed the message in just the way it should be.
