If you want to learn,you have to be an empty-cup ,says Robin Sharma.But,as a student,are you an empty-cup? Are you trying to learn from your Teachers or are you spending your time in finding his/her fault ?
There are certain pertinent questions that I ruminate :
Why do we always waste our time in evaluating others ?
Why do we keep blaming others ?
Why do we complain about others ?
Why do spend so much of time just to pin-point others' mistakes ?
Why don't we take them as they are ?
The answer lies in "how we were treated in childhood". If you are an average (including below-par) intelligent guy, then everyone in your surroundings would have compared you with some other fellow and mocked at your intelligence - Your "self " starts taking a blow there and you start feeling uncomfortable slightly.When the same mocking continues,you begin to feel a little different ,not-okay-with-yourself feelings ,which finally snowball into something called complex.And that's where the problem starts.When you are in complex,you start looking at others;start observing them;start comparing with them ;start judging them either as Superior / Inferior to you. In fact,we long to label others as Inferior to us.When you judge others as inferior, you become critical,you start complaining,you start blaming,you waste time on fault-finding. When you do so,your personal ego gets a mild, unsaid, devilish-pleasure and that keeps you on-a-high for some time.You become a slave-to-that-pleasure,unbeknown to yourself, and you go on criticizing others, just to be on-that-high ! And you don't mind, even if that others, are your Teachers ! You just go on that mindless rampage, incessantly!
For brilliant-guys,the case would have been altogether different . He starts snubbing at others right from the day when others start extolling him of his comparative brilliance and he judges others as Inferiors.
So as a student,when we spend time on judging them especially Teachers, what are we doing to them ? What are we doing to us ? Do some thinking ...
But remember, the culprit is a single word - "Comparison". DOT.
