Don’t take yourself too seriously

Todays message horoscope is “

– Don’t take yourself too seriously. As long as you keep a lighthearted approach, you will skate through the day quite nicely. If, however, you insist that everything be done perfectly, you will be met with a great deal of frustration and headache.”

I am thinking about these statements. How accurate it is. I just completed two pieces of documentation. The documentation is the point, where perfection is never possible. Always chance of improvement.

I read the minutes of meetings and note down everything. But it can be improved.

When we get review from different people. Everyone has a different point of view. And one point of view is from Customer itself.

Sometimes we also face bias from different teammates.

I remember when I was come out from home, I was a over protected child. I face a lot of cititisim.

I complain it to my grade mom. She told, me ” Miayan agar kuch kerna chaathayte hoo to loogo kee baateen sonye kee aadat daal loo”. Look son if you want to achieve something, make habit to ignore what other said.

It very similar to Socrates said that ” If you want to avoid criticism, do nothing and be nothing”.

But truly speaking, you need a big heart. One of my ex colleague told me brother there are three words in Urdu ” Koi baat nahee”. ( no issue ). These three words are magic pill. If someone criticize you. Use these words and ignore what they said.

One of my friend told me brother ” toom suchayte bohat hoo”. You think a lot on what other said.

I am like Sathguru motivation speaking and discussion. He said, take the life as it is. No need to go find the truth behind everything. Its just there opinion.

In famous book 4 agreements Author talk about never take anything personally. Even he said, if someone comes and put gun on your head even that time, you will not take thing personally. Its all about them. How they think and feel about them.

So remember my friends, If you want to become something. Do something. Never stop if someone spoke about it. People are very clever, they observe you closely. They study you. They understand you. If you stop due to fear of criticism. They used this fear against you and did not let you go ahead.

So built a courage to face criticism. There is always positive way to deal with criticism, smile, listen and ignore.
