CRITICISING OTHERS
A famous quote says: People that
critise other people are just unhappy about something in their lives and they
take the most pathetic measures to make themselves feel better.
Another famous quote about criticism
says: Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn --- and most fools do. But
it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.
The proverb : Think before you speak, warns us about the cruel or kind effect of words.
Words chosen by a speaker or writer can be as
sweet as honey or as bitter as poison. They can heal or harm. Remember the oldest saying : Tongue cuts
deeper than sword.
Such criticism as defames others is
condemnable. If one evaluates a person’s work and deeds sympathetically, he
acts like a judge, not an enemy.
Enemies find faults even where they
do not exist. Their intention is to defame even by telling lies. To them their
adversary’s merits, are his faults. They have selfish interest in criticism.
Fair criticism is an asset both for the critic and the person who is criticized.
Look at the following thoughts:
*Criticism is meant as a standard of
judging well.
*It is easy to criticize a person,
but difficult to appreciate him.
* Silence is sometimes the severest
criticism.
*It is a barren kind of criticism
which tells you what a thing is not.
*There are three things that ought to
be considered before some things are spoken,----the manner, the place, and the time.
*Learn the art of making friends and
influencing people.
* What you say about others doesn’t
define them it defines you.
To
conclude. here is a memorable quote:
“The
final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment.”
