opinion criticism

All of us form opinions about things and often get judgmental too soon. The way in which we convey our opinion actually decides how the person at receiving end rates it. It may be perceived as feedback, comment or criticism. While it’s good to express what we feel but it’s equally important to have the power to judge situations and give opinions as and when required and in the right way. How opinion is perceived is dependent on both parties who is at receiving and the person who is at giving end. While it is expected that the receiver takes it positively it is equally important for the giver to be sensitive about the feelings of other person and know the best way to express it and convey it. We need to be judgmental about deciding what the right time to convey message and how do we convey message.

Next time when your tongue urges to shower words ask yourself two questions, one-is it something life threatening that if you don’t forma an opinion or convey it there and then it might result into some major loss. Second- is it the right or the only time when you can convey what you feel, or this may be delayed for better.

Your opinions should be such that they are respected and valued and not such that are discouraged or make others feel annoyed. This is all in your own hands and is dependent on the way you handle situations.
