Don’t mind criticism. If it is untrue, disregard it; if unfair, keep from
irritation; if it is ignorant, smile; if it is justified
it is not criticism, learn from it.

noone likes being criticised at the same time criticizes....we ignore our faults and focus on others coz we as human beings want to be told...faithlessly assume consciously or subconsciously 'i am the best...better than the rest'....insightful n shows your eminent understanding of ours' society....
True 'Nobody likes criticism'. Because we tend to take judging ones merits and or faults are personal attacts on ones beings.I would imagine how one accepts criticism is cultural as opposed to being universal phenomenon. I like the way your poem puts it: 'let the pros and cons of critcism plead.' I learned much from your poem as one can learn criticism. As usual, a good job, Amrit.
reader shall feel the truth about the poem and the words written. The truth of human nature sometimes can be so hurtful but with open mind, things should gone sood not bad. We can feel how your poem is guiding in real sense and readable by all walks of life. Thanks for sharing your wise and clear opinion about us, human.
Very accurate and nicely worded. Thanks for the knowledge. I feel a little smarter now. Keep up the good work.
A great topic to think about......... very wel written......... Great job
First, avoid criticism. Or at least water it down, or do it indirectly, nice. keep up. shan
Smart, Wise....A poem to think together, yes i agree most of people are afraid of criticism.. u explain very well....in a simple way and it really work...but as the other told the criticism can be either destructive or constructive...but actually the destructive can change into constructive if we try to the concept of positive thinking..destructive criticism may be hurt people but it is better than pretending in front of us...But what u write is absolutely real and i believe this come through from your great observations...Love this poem...: D
I always welcome constructive criticisms. This is the best option to improve one. It depends on one's Maturity level. No one is right all the time. Isn't it?
Or have an attitude of being always thankful But separating wheat from chaff’s in your hand. As water wears off even the rocks at sea, your bad habits too will improve So criticism is something you shouldn’t miss. As a matter of fact, you should welcome it. And if your heart feels it is true, you should instantly admit it. very nice advice you give to the readers. you tell them to create a new attitude. then weigh the criticism well accept if it is true or simply shake it off. very very nice approach. your maturity in life is that we read out from your poems. thank you Rathi
For Amrit Rathi my friend, in tribute to two lines in your poem I especially liked An Unintended Blessing the critic serves a useful purpose criticism can contain a surprising amount of suddenly revealed truth comments may have been venom versed yet these are a great source of inspiration in identifying areas to accurately improve my philosophy, to use criticism, for a better, more determined purpose, as focus point, as an inspiration, to succeed, to attain excellence God Bless my friend
Or have an attitude of being always thankful to one who criticizes you undeterred, yes criticism can contain a surprising amount of suddenly revealed truth
Criticism, Can be so hurtful, yet constructive criticism can be guiding and helpful. It should not be a stumbling block, but a platform for examination. It is a type of disiplining, if you like. We should not allow criticsim to become an offence. But, yes, some criticim does hurt, especially when it is given out of malice. Well written.; D
criticism when rude it makes problems...when someone criticizes he has to be polite and caring not to make someone angry or sad... your poem is simply read and i like that...poets doesn't have to write with a difficult language to show they are skilled....i liked this poem very much though in the middle i felt i'm reading prosody more than poetry...but still it's great...keep writing. thanks for sharing
Great poem Amrit, seems that you have this wisdom ahead of your time, thats a life well spent..
There are two criticisms one is constructive and the other one destructive.Be careful which to use. Destructive if you're not careful in your words you'll meet lot of enemies, while constructive is either you have more friends and less enemies. This poem only focused on the destructive criticism.
Dear Amrit, This poem is full of wisdom. You really master to put wisdom in poetry. The topic is very important, it has been throughout the ages. I remember reading Dale Carnegie on this and he was saying also what you convey. This bit of wisdom is so important, not only in the workplace but also at home, with our friends and in each and every situation. Thanks for sharing.
Clap Clap Clap... Brilliant Poem..one of the best and one of the meaningful poems I have read offlate... Your poem is a lesson we all need to learn..Handling and accepting criticism...Very strong poem..a must read for everyone...
A fantastic composition on how to deal with criticism in our day-to-day lives. The opening lines strongly and simply state a harsh reality that we all face. Use of metaphors to illustrate why criticism is important makes this work a very interesting read. So if criticism is not genuine, just ignore it. Very well said. But not too many of us are fortunate enough to do this. We can all become better humans if we succeed in doing so which is what this composition aims at. But separating wheat from chaff’s in your hand. As water wears off even the rocks at sea, your bad habits too will improve in his company. And what about the opportunities you’ll miss? So criticism is something you shouldn’t miss. As a matter of fact, you should welcome it. And if your heart feels it is true, you should instantly admit it. The above lines proclaim a very beautiful truth about criticism. In short if we see criticism as a challenge and be very positive about it, then we have a lot to gain. This write is a beautiful synthesis of all the wisdom that the poet has accumulated over the years from his rich experiences of interacting with fellow human beings. Enjoyed reading and analysing it thoroughly. Rating: 10+++++++
