Honest opinions

The most difficult thing to do in life is, to be honest. Most importantly being honest to oneself. We expect people to be honest to us but it is the most difficult thing to digest if someone demonstrates a negative but honest opinion of ourselves. Honesty is no doubt a beautiful characteristic but it’s appreciated only if the outcome is positive. We want people to be honest but truly we will never be able to appreciate nor accept it. Cause all we ever want the good, good comments, suggestions and appreciation. Anything and everything that constitutes a compliment. But we never appreciate honesty in the form of criticism.

Sometimes it is better to at least try to understand the other’s perceptive even if that is not how you would have ever perceived or intended it. I believe the real and honest feedback can never be all positive. It has to have some critical comments that would uncover the flaws in the things that seemed flawless to you. That is the actual beauty of having an honest opinion. It is rare to find such opinions. So cherish it instead of denying it.

You will easily find such people who would keep appreciating your every single move always and sometimes for no reason too. Yeah, it is good to have such people around to boost your morale at times but I feel such people do more harm than good to you. Because they somehow act as a catalyst and you end up with a lot of misconceptions about your abilities.
