Quotes attributable to Carl-Peter Forster
Reading what other people think on a particular subject- whether they agree, disagree or have another perspective to share – and to get this raw feedback unfiltered and immediately is one of the main reasons I started this blog.
I have been told I’ll need to have a thick skin as we have our fair share of critics as well as brand enthusiasts. At least when someone makes the effort to comment it shows they have an opinion. It’s when they don’t care we ought to be concerned.
