Good and Bad, Like and Dislike

I know that nobody asked for it, but here's some advice you might be able to benefit from:

It's important to make an effort to understand the difference between what you like and dislike and what is good and bad. This is because it is simply too easy to assume that what you like is good and what you dislike is bad.

You can find out what you like or dislike through experience and by being honest with youself.

To find out what is good and what is bad, it is necessary to first stock yourself with objective knowledge. The next step is to engage these discrete pieces of knowledge intellectually in order to derive certain "truths," before finally arriving at your own conclusions.

In a way, this is what being critical is all about.
