Today I’ve been criticised for a lot of my decisions and for the not soo favourable results!!!
Criticism One
I purchased our car from a different dealer instead of the dealer you have recommended!!!
The result is the car stopped abruptly while driving!!! It took 5 breakdowns & a year to fix the issue, of which couple of breakdowns have been charged by the dealer!!
Criticism Two
I didn’t do a proper due diligance while applying for a home loan!!! This inspite of you telling not to go with a particular bank!!!
Criticism Three
I ventured into Cinema Production against your wish and against your warning!!! Eventually the movie flopped and it was a bomb in the box office!!!
Criticism Four
I’m working on the Coffee Shop project again in spite of your concerns for availibility of time to manage it!!!
Though I’ve my own reasons and explanation for all the criticism, I don’t want to make it a normal affair by justifying my decisions!!!
Let me confess that;
- I’ve taken wrong decisions, but I progressed in some direction instead of doing nothing!!!
- I failed, but I learned my lessons!!!
- I risked, after all life without risk is a dream!!!
- I over-stretched, if not how can I push myself to excellence!!!
Also I’d like to remind you a point… Never criticise an entrepreneur… It will only make his resolve and perceivarance more stronger!!!
Please do understand that “Ship is safe on the shores, but it is not built for that”!!
Likewise an entrepreneur is safe doing nothing, but their genes are not tuned for that!!!
But I’d like to thank you for kindling my resolve to succeed against the odds!!!
Let me close it with my favourite number from Akon!!!
As life goes on I’m starting to learn more and more about responsibility
And I realize everything I do is affecting the people around me
So I want to take this time out to apologize for things that I’ve done
And things that haven’t occurred yet
And the things they don’t want to take responsibility forYou can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
