THE ART OF CRITICISM......

    To find fault with others is too easy but to actually examine ourselves from within is harder. I read a story that I want to share with you blog visitors about a famous pilot who was flying his family home on a private plane after being guest at an air show. At three hundred feet in the air ..both engines suddenly stopped. By deft maneuvering he managed to land the plane but it was badly damaged although nobody was hurt.
     His first reaction after the emergency landing was to inspect the aeroplane’s fuel and just as he suspected the air plane had been fueled with jet fuel rather than gasoline
upon returning to the airport he asked to see the mechanic who had serviced his airplane. The young man was sick with the agony of his mistake as tears stream down his face as the pilot approached, he had just caused the loss of a very expensive plane and could have caused the loss of three lives as well
    You can imagine the pilots anger. One could anticipate the tongue-lashing that this proud and precise pilot would unleash for that carelessness. But the pilot surprisingly didn’t scold the mechanic he didn’t even criticize him. Instead he put his big hand around the man’s shoulder and said, “to show you that am sure that you‘ll never do this again, I want you to service my F-15 tomorrow.’
     And we can all but wonder if he ever made such a mistake or any other similar mistake
And this has made me realize that rather than condemn people. Let's try to understand them. Let's try to figure out why they do what they do and you will realize that its a lot more profitable and intriguing than criticism.......they say a great man shows his greatness by the way he treats little people.... And besides blog visitors "God himself does not propose to judge man until the end of his days
    So why should you and I?
