“Think of a person that you dislike or someone who just irritates you. Suppose that they did something really great for the world, how would you feel? Would you be happy and proud they had at last done something good?”

To avoid criticism is a valid path to good mental health.

For the last one week, i have been asking am i that bad, i always want to deny the criticsm that my lecturer did on me. I always want to believe that the criticsm is not true at all. I am so glad and fortunate to come across this artice at the time i need it most.I felt so touched when i read your article and almost wanted to cry. I then realise What my lecturer said is true.”Even if criticism is offered with unkind words, it can still contain very good advice which can help us improve. “This sentence penetrate deep inside my heart. For all this while, i always “hate”when people praise me, as i believe that they just want to boost me,and nothing true about what they say. Now, i guess it is ok, not to accept praise but Not criticsm. Thank you for the well written article. i always wish that one day i would be able to speak my mind as clear as you had done.I do feel grateful for the critiscm as i know,now, i need to work harder to improve myself and for that i owe you.

Tejvan, Tejvan, this is so well written. You are able to cover so many aspects of criticism/praise. Sometimes the circumstances can be even more subtle.

Finally I have found this Website. Wow. Sometimes I feel like a corn of rice poped up and then reduced to a grain of sand but definitely everything helps me in terms of finishing the self-perfection-journey. I am so grateful to be
a member of the inspiration-group. It widens your receptivity. We see that others tell what for so long was untold specially this sentence: Too often we allow certain things to permanently cloud our judgement and opinion of others.

Thank Nirmala

Good stuff Tejvan! I especially like the importance you place upon being able to control our thoughts and have a “silent mind”. Sometimes it feels like my mind goes onto overdrive, and that is when I find I need to find a quiet place, be still, and meditate for a few minutes. This is a relatively new thing I do and it has helped a lot!
