Don't let compliments go to your head...

"Don’t let people’s compliments go to your head and don’t let their criticisms go to your heart."

I can't find the author of this quote, but I'd like to borrow it and apply it to data analysis.  It is important to celebrate successes you have measured through data collection.  But don't let it go to your head.  And let's face it, sometimes the truth hurts.  So as you are analyzing data, don't let disappointing results get you down.  Don't take data as criticism.

Data are meaningless until you do something with them; not once, but continuously.
