ThInK BeFoRe YoU OpInE

Most of the people have the tendency to find the defects in any work or any performance and stick to criticizing the fault. They cannot ignore the defect and find something positive in any work or performance. I do not hesitate to start the lines in a negative tone but it is the fact. I have been in such situations many times where I myself found the work unworthy.But when situations keep on improving people still cannot improve their silly habit of criticizing. This behaiviour is not only restricted to human beings but also holds good for media.Let me support my opinion with two real life experiences.

One morning I switched on the television and was listening to a news program where I came to know of Shane Warne's adieu to international cricket. The news reader inlieu of admiring his greatness as a spin wizard criticized of his personal life. We know that Shane Warne had been in controversial situations for a number of times, which were completely personal and nothing to do with cricket. But he was always respected as a hero of Australian cricket. The media criticized Shane Warne very much of his personal life. It was such a cheap outlook of the media that on his farewell day the newsreader did not speak of his deadly leg breaks which sounded as a death to the batsmen or of his outstanding feat of 700 wickets in Test Cricket.Really as the country leaps to new heights of progress , the media should change its outlook. This is one instance.

Let me speak of another instance.I watched the bollywood movie 'Heroes' and told one of my friends to watch it.His response was that had it been a good movie , it would have been a hit. He mocked at Sunny Deol's performance. Is that all? I wondered how he could comment on something without having a look at it. He just agreed to what his friends or Newspapers or the famous critics said. Instead the movie showed some really emotional and touching situations of the life of a soldier. It is easy to ignore and forget such pains which a soldier's family faces but nobody takes into account of the adversities that the family's faces and people forget the herioc deed of the brave martyr. The movie showed reality, few can only face reality and for the rest it becomes an easy job to form a flawed opinion.

We should not be deaf to reality and accept opinions blindly everytime. Let us put your own thoughts and I believe we can definitely extract the positive out of everything. It will broaden out outlook.
