How important is balance in life? If you doubledown against those who attack you shouldn't you doubledown when folks praise you? Do you?

First, I don't care how Trump handles it. With that said, I don't need nor want praise, nor do I solicit it under any set of circumstances. Only a shallow person would crave such. If you happen to be exemplary in some area, you don't need adulation to draw attention or feed your vanity.
