My Thoughts About Success: About Criticisms
It takes you to grow in maturity when you are able to control your anger, hurt, deprivation. You can get this level of maturity when you stopped criticizing.
Those statements from the book say a lot:
“A great man shows his greatness by the way he treat others”.
“Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain- and most fools do”.
Dale is saying in essence that critics are on the same plane as mad people and this is true. It is lack of character that makes one rushes to blame, condemn, and criticize
If we are logical, we should by now come to terms with the fact that no amount of criticism can normalize or remedy any situation.
I need therefore to apply wisdom and break out from this norm. It is dangerous, it cannot develop healthy relationship. However, if I am criticizing, blaming, and condemning, then I will only succeed in making a fool of myself.
But matured people, those who build their character, have the patience in handling any type of situation; they are usually level-headed no matter the provocation. That is character.
Leadership qualities entail the ability to calmly handle situations as they come.
The spontaneous act of condemnation or criticism or blaming is coming from shallow conceptions of relational engagements.
You preconceived behavioral pattern acceptable to you and you are rigid about it. You fail to accord the other party the privilege to act the way in his acceptable way.
I want you to image when we calmly handle situation, then even those that are opposed to us will fall within the exact place we desire them to be.
Dale is telling us in this part of the book that we should kill the fool in us to become true great leaders.
There is no greater lesson in building relations with the aimed of winning. And winnings connote success and success is the prime subject of WA.
This applies that in my niche, I am providing unique and quality information. But I will be doing it in such a way as to demonstrate it as providing the same information to unique and quality people.
