it is not the critic who counts,
not the man who points out how strong man stumbles or
where the doer of deeds could have done them better,
the credit belong to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood,
who errs and comes short again and again
because there is no effort without errors and shortcomings,
who knows the great devotion,
who spends himself in a worthy cause,
who at best knows in the end the high achievement of triumph
and who at worst, if he fails while daring greatly,
knows his place shall never be with those timid and cold souls
who know neither victory nor defeat...

i've been holding on to this words for this past years.. life is not easy since i'm not perfect.. aren't we all not? criticisms are able to become an energy drive for us to strive for better or even worse.. but criticisms without knowing the real situation is something that we should avoided.. we view things differently according to our own perspectives and beliefs.. we walk in different paths and different shoes.. we face a lot of trials in our journey and the way we handle it are differ from each other..
whatever things that we see in others; their situations, problems and etc are only the surface of it.. we tend to make assumptions on their deeds and attitudes without knowing what the real agenda behind it all.. thats why we ask.. to be in their shoes, try to see the way they see and walk in their paths.. some of us might be living a wrong path cause life is after all about trials and errors.. we never know failures till we have one, we never know hurt till we feel one, we never know isolation till we face one.. and from all these we'll learn cause we experienced it..like a child, if we too scared of them doing things that they want to do because of own self anxiety, they will never learn a thing..
thats what we are, we are learner of life and we'll never stop learning till our last breath.. in our daily life, we'll face a lot of criticisms because that what people do best, but accept it with an open heart and if you believe in what you are doing don't give a damn thoughts about it.. if they are willing to say it in front of your face, say what you need to say, your real situations.. don't let them be overwhelmed with their own perceptions to you.. whatever it is, just be strong to handle it aite...
i'm not perfect but still i got a great life given by God to live!! :)

that is insightful.
to stay neutral and not judging isnt easy, as we critic ourselves sometime, y not judge others too~
jahat it is, but that what we do ocassionally.
learner of life indeed.we tried the best to be on the right time, at the right place, with the right person and the write word to spill. the rest let God handle it.
may i noe wat inspire u to write that?
Kas is right. Though I agree with you as well. The fact is, people tend to forget that no one is perfect. They talk because they feels good talking about someone else's weakness. It makes them feel great. Bad, indeed.
kas: let just say that out the blue during the cold night suddenly my brain in hugger to write something in this blog..huhu.. neway, criticisms are good but as for me, need to be in line with a solid reasons.. a good one of course, not the one that will bring a person down..
oli: yeah, people tend to forget and thats one of the rule of being human on the first place.. but isn't it much better if people try to learn to seek beauty and strength in other person.. hard it may seems but its worth of a try.. :)
I know one person who critics people a lot. more like gossiping and spreading bad words about a person. That was back then at you-know-where :)
