After reading few books on positive thinking and after trying to put those things into practise, I have started noticing the presence of criticism everywhere. We excessively criticize - everything about those people we hate, and also to prove ourselves right. I was also one of them. But i realized that it really doesnt give you anything good.
I have plenty of examples. I study in a very reputed college. But there are few(very few) other colleges which are better than my college. But people here compare with those best colleges and criticize our own college not realizing that there are lacks of people who wants to come to the college and that we are very lucky to be here and that the situtation in rest of the colleges is hopeless. I am not saying I am a saint. I do get thoughts wishing if were there. But very quickly I try telling myself that it doesnt really matter(It of course does!!). And thus avoiding feeling gloomy about something I cant help.
A gentleman from our college wrote a book on the flaws of our education system. In that book, he criticized unlimitidely. He said our education does no good; that it doesnt teach a thing;that it is completely useless and utter waste of time. Really? I've got a question for you Sir. Why do you study in this worthless education system? Why have you worked so hard to get into this college( I'll take pride and say that only top 1% students get admission into our college) . When you say you really dont give a damn about grades,percentiles,exams-why is it that I see you strolling in tension when exams are nearing?? In all honesty, although our system is not perfect, I think that it does pretty good. Why else our educated sons are doing great in every field in every country. We defintely owe some thing to our education system. But I really respect him for onething- For getting his book published. I know how difficult it is. He is probably the first person who got the opportunity to practise all the things we learned in our course;Yet, ironically he is the one cpomplaining about it!
The other side. Recently few of our friends had read his book. The reviews I got from them are very discouraging. . They criticized him left and right-He doesnt have a writing style,too many grammar mistakes,boring plot,nothing funny,he thinks himself a superman,and too many. Although I do agree that a good part of what they said is true,It will be exaggeration to say that it is complete zero.They compare him with the the world famous authors. Its injustifiable. We definitely gotta give him some credit for writing a story fo 250 pages; for thinking a plot; for having the courage to get it published;for having a dream; and,most important of all, having the courage to follow it. It defintely not would have been easy. Comon guys, it is just his first novel and he is barely 22 years old. A whole life is ahead of him. I guess they are probably intimidated by the publicity he got.
We all criticize our country,out families,our government,over villages,our films,our music. It is everywhere. I dont exactly know the reason behind it. But I believe that grass is always greener on the otherside. We always think others are having fun- other countries have everything-sex,money,lifestyle,drugs. We think that they are the happiest people. But the reality is on the contrary. I dont have any position to preach anyone,nevertheless I advice that it would do a great deal to us if we reduce that. I guess I have done enough criticsm ;)
