People who take criticism positively are true winners

We nowadays are becoming more and more intolerant. We do not easily try to accept others views or even give a damn to it until and unless it is favorable to us.We often loose our temper and don’t even try to listen to our mistakes which we might have done knowing or unknowingly. These things are taking us away from the golden opportunity of rectifying our mistakes. We often make mistakes in our social and professional life because it’s human to err. A sensible person listens to his criticism peacefully and without losing his cool. This provides him the opportunity to mend his ways from the wrong path and prevent him from misdeeds.It’s a very old and golden view that people who can accept his criticism is the true winner in this world and has the potential to achieve his desired goal. Goswami Tulsidas in his Ram Charitramanas has advised to keep in touch with your criticizer. A true criticizer is more worthy than a friend who don’t even bother to caution you whenever you are wrong. In ancient times the pupil friendly kings used to visit their kingdom to gather public opinion because the courtesans sometime may give the untrue picture of their praja or commoner.So you should give ear to the words which are against you. You must digest them with ease and comfort but remember to mend your ways if you are wrong. This will be very helpful to you in your due course of life.In school teachers are one of the best friend as well as our best criticizer. They often scold us and as well encourage us on our good work. But this has to be taken along with the criticism. We must take the positive criticism seriously because this shows us the way not to repeat them in future. We should actually be thankful to our teachers for making us what we are. There role is very important. Parents too have a very important role to play in the child life. They must not give unwanted favor to them or encourage them in their affection. This affection may make them spoilt which will be harmful for them and they might develop some bad habits which will be hazardous for them and their future. They must be harsh on their mistakes and must criticize them if them do something unacceptable. This will help them in their upbringing and grooming.

Education is mandatory for your identity

We all want to create our own identification. We are unique in biological sense but we long for identity in social arena. We want to create a niche for ourselves so that we can lead a fearful and independent life. A niche is carved not only in economical front but also in decision making which is necessary in future life. This make us confident, feel worthy and give sense of pride.

Education is the most vital thing apart from requisite for survival of a child. He can enrich his life by getting right education which will empower him to be independent.

We misunderstand identification with only wealth accumulation which is the common notion to be popular and win prestige among masses. Today we are blindly aping western people from their life style to culture in our lives and feel proud of ourselves. This concept is not acceptable in our prestigious culture. We prefer lavish life over simple life and think this is the only ambition in life. We are living in a commercial and market world. Our media like films and television too are propagating this consumerism and playing active and supportive role in this market propaganda.

This has eluded us from our own identity and this is going to be harmful in due course for our prestigious culture and heritage.

We are forced to live in micro family nowadays. Child is no more friends with their Grand parents their place has been taken by television and internet. Now they don't listen to the moral stories which have once been our tradition and part of value education for the young ones.

This is taking away our new generation from our old and best heritage which gave us recognition and made the greatest civilization. If thing are not going to change we once again will have to be the slave (mentally) of the foreign ideology and will loose our own identity which made us appreciated and acclaimed worldwide.

If we will not able to pass the tradition to the younger generation slowly it is going to be vanished. Then everything thing will be the part of the history. We are not trying to discontinue with the pace of development but these things can be ensured even without losing our identity and culture. For this we must feel proud for what we are.

Fortune helps those who help themselves

We often make responsible to our stars for the outcomes in our lives. If things are favorable and according to our wish we thanks our fortune and luck but we don't leave any opportunity to curse it if things are not according to our expectation. It's a very old and famous saying that fortune favors the brave. Our luck helps us if we do things honestly. Or in simple words we can say that our fortune is the opposite reaction or reflection of our deeds alone. It is very well defined by Lord Krishna in his preaching of 'Geeta.' We reap what we sow is the ultimate truth of life.

The true education recommends us that we must rely on our deeds instead of fortune alone. Our efforts are our sole responsibility which is within our control. We cannot predict the outcome but God is kind enough to give according to your work and dedication.

We adopt lots of bad habits just for mere lust of power and money and to satisfy our greed. We loose our vision and lessons taught to us and become slaves of our desires. Instead of short interest we must focus on the long term profit and in the larger interest which include people around us and society as a whole.

There are numerous topper every year which come out of the institutions like schools, colleges and various other institutes. We proudly display their names on the boards and in newspapers. Have the institution ever tried to find out what these toppers have done for society apart from their professional interest? They will be ashamed if they micro inspects their work even in their professional life which will be full of unethical and corrupt practices.

This will be enough to erase their names from their institution boards. This is not who are illiterate are more dangerous for the society it is the so called elite and educated people on the higher post are doing more harm to the society by misusing their post for their personal gain. They have forgotten all their lessons and ethics told to them at school. But they have to remember that one day they will have to pay for their deeds in this very life.
