Only listening to positive reviews from “yes men” and sycophants reinforces limiting and misguided views on the way to certain failure. Dissenting opinions are useful even when they are wrong. It’s important to experiment and test our beliefs in the real world. To do so, we need to seek “problems;” not “solutions.” People that come bearing “solutions” are not open-minded and only seek to implement their own opinion. But people presenting “problems” are willing to try various alternatives to find the best option for an issue. And finding a true “Devil’s Advocate” will force you to be more effective and truthful. An truthful opponent can stress test our ideas to separate facts from fiction. We should welcome this criticism because these people care enough to state their honest views. What we should fear most is a disinterested audience. What is a problem you have? Do you know your options? Who do you confide in to find answers? And do you ask "what if the opposite is true?" Mike Kraus was born on the industrial shoreline of Muskegon, Michigan. After earning his Fine Arts Degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he attended Grand Valley State University for his graduate degree. From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Foundation, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Children's Memorial Foundation. And every place he worked, he had his sketchbook with him and found ways to be actively creative. In 2014, Kraus became a full-time artist by establishing Mike Kraus Art. Since then, he has sold thousands of paintings that are displayed in nearly every state and dozens of countries. Currently, Kraus lives in Rochester, New York with his beautiful wife and goofy dog.
