“A man was criticized for failing to provide for his family. Times were hard. He couldn’t find a job so he decided to go into the fish business. “After his first catch, he set up shop underneath a sign he made: ‘Fresh Fish for Sale Today!’ The first passerby offered a criticism: ‘Why would you use the word today? Everyone knows you dont want to sell them yesterday or tomorrow. That leaves only today to sell them.’ “So he sawed off that last word and mounted the new version: ‘Fresh Fish for Sale.’ The next passerby asked, ‘Why use the word Fresh? Do you mean to imply that at other times the fish are not fresh?’ Again he changed his sign. Now it said, ‘Fish for Sale.’ “The next critic said, ‘Why not leave off the words for Sale? Any numbskull would know thats why you have a fish market?’ Finally, he wound up with only the word ‘Fish.’ Even then, he still had a critic. The next passerby said, ‘Why do you need to put up a sign at all? Anyone who comes within half a mile of this place knows from the smell what you are selling!’ The Man got affected by Criticism. He didnt learn from his life that, “there are always some people who will find something to criticize about any endeavour we undertake. Lets learn from his negative critical attitude and be more determined every time you would encounter any Critic and also get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words and slander, as well as all types of bad behaviour. Don’t criticise anybody as Criticism is killer of worthy endeavours and a killer of relationships!
