Don't Criticize, Condemn or Complain

The triple C's that you should avoid for influencing people.

It's human nature to criticize, condemn or complain anyone about anything. Even the wrongdoers blame everybody but themselves. We all are like that. By criticizing, we do not make lasting changes and often incur resentment.

But remember that these 3C's are like home pigeons, they always return home. So, instead of criticizing or condemning people, let's try to understand them. Let's try to figure out why they do what they do.

One of the famous people once said: 'God himself, sir, does not propose to judge a man until the end of the days.'

Why should you and I?

Thus remember this famous quotation from our bible:

'Judge not, that ye be not judged.' - He who judges will himself be judged.

Let's be more sympathetic, tolerant and kind towards others, let's not speak ill of no man and speak all the good we know of everybody.
