Be Grateful for Criticisms........


Whenever you do something good
With your intentions so candid and pure
Be prepared to accept whatever comes your way
And don’t wait for the appreciation always;
And if you do so,
Then you are the loser
Because, ‘admirations’ are always rare
And, ‘criticisms’ are abundant and freely given;
But, be grateful if you get any
Because, they are a difficult treasure for anyone’s reach;
Remember too,
That you are not perfect
And you are only towards it,
And each one has one’s own freedom
To say or not to say what they believe to be right
Though truthfulness might be partial, or judgement, totally in error;
Whatever it may be, praises or criticisms
Know that they have got something to convey to you,
And be patient enough to grasp them carefully and totally
Because, they will tell you........
“Who you really are”;
Be grateful to those who offer them
Because they are for your betterment is very sure,
And thank God for giving you both:
Praises and praisers, Criticisms and criticisers,
Because they will always motivate you to do a better job
For the greater satisfaction of yours,
And the glory of the ONE whom you serve.
