A critical critic.

I have always been an avid movie buff right from my school days. But before watching any movie I always read the critics review, it’s like a customary practice I have been following since long. There is an old adage “A critic is a person who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.” But I thoroughly feel that without a critic there would never be any kind of improvisation, no benchmarking and all would be at the helm of complacency. Leave aside the cinema industry; in life too there are people who act as critics. Whenever I worked on a project, presented a seminar, played sports at various levels or even when I was dumb silent I have received criticisms. But I always feel the most important fact is that one must filter out only the constructive part of it and leave away the pure bull crap which people love to jabber. Constructive criticisms can be used as a stepping stone for future betterment.
I truly feel there is a critic in all of us. Some use it to motivate others, some to pull down others, some use it as a tool to throw tantrums and some are totally oblivious of the fact that they need to be a critic once a while. But it should always be a two way process. Some just love to criticize but when it comes to them they get pestered. Worse than this are those critics who blabber out totally prejudiced criticisms. Ther was a girl i knew who would 8 out of 10 times pull down another guy saying her boyfriend is much better. No wonder he is her boyfriend. Lollzz. Such people follow the principle of nepotism. Complete LOSERS I would say.
A critic is not always meant to criticize, but at times to be a bit sarcastic, to appreciate at times, also praise but rest of the times criticize. I reiterate constructive criticism. But a genuine critic is the one who stands against all odds of nepotism and gives out an unprejudiced comment; be it a criticism or extolling. Truly, living in a democratic country amidst cut throat competition, we all must learn to criticize and take criticism positively and take cues from it for success in all our future endeavors.
