Next time before criticizing, encourage!
I have too many people around who are constantly judging me. Or is that the bar that I set for myself. I’ve often wondered why I keep my calm when the trigger is so blowing. Anything that I do goes for a toss and the irony is that the very same thing, when done by others, is recognized and applauded. The adage pronounced by Bhagavad Gita goes by “கடமையை செய் , பலனை எதிர்பார்க்காதே”, translates to “Do the work, but don’t expect anything in return”.
Your right is only to perform your duty. You do not have right to expect any consequences there of. You should neither be motivated by the fruits of your action, nor should they encourage you to be inactive.
— The Bhagavad Gita
The true meaning of the quote is way too intense. As important as it is to achieve the sense of self satisfaction, it’s equally important to be considerate to one another.
Everyone wants to enjoy what they do. No work is exciting when it becomes a mundane routine. Keeping the passion alive and spirits high is difficult. What makes one to enjoy what they are doing? Recognition? Some support? Some incentive? Little results proving the outcome? When one wants to excel in something, they try a lot. Try a lot with failed attempts. Consistency is the key to success and successful are those who strike the balance between what they are striving to become and other priorities.
Encouragement is different from appreciation & why don’t most get the difference. If someone is going to feel proud only after the achievement, probably we have been expecting support from the wrong ones. If someone is going to stand beside us, reassure whenever we lose faith, push us hard and keeps us consistent, they are the ones we need to lean on. Those are the people that we need in life.
And kid not, I’ve been on the unfair side I’m claiming others are on. Yeah probably, all of us experience both sides of heat. And it’s only fair to accept that there’s no wrong. Probably it’s how we make others feel that matter. What we say is as important as how we say it. One can give an appreciation that’s disheartening or can criticize constructively. If you stand on the other side, you can be a supporting pillar just by providing pragmatic tips. Rather make fun of the person.
And when you are the one making an effort — remember one can’t teach the world to be on the moral high spirit. Unless we prove ourselves, we are subjecting ourselves to rigorous worldly critics who are at the least bothered about our efforts and focus the criticism only on the results.
