Criticism is something people do not often do without mixing personal emotions and sentiments into. People have diverse reasons as to why they generally indulge in criticism, but why not? We have intuitions and we have perceptive filters we form our basic opinion from what we believe to be right. Nevertheless, the truth or facts are diversely different.

Everyone has a difference definition of what their "truth" is. But then we have only facts to prove that our individual "truth" are either wrong or right. When it comes to business and money different people develops diverse definitions of what success or failure can mean, that is why I basically believe that when a person is at their optimal best irrespective of the fact that they haven't met the measurement or yardstick set by a group of people one can say they're doing well themselves.

In life, we sometimes set very difficult yardsticks or standards for ourselves or allow other people do this on our behalf and when we simply do not meet these standards, we term each and every effort that we have put into a prospect as total failure. Sometimes we need to understand that life itself is a rat race.

There is always a tendency of competitiveness everywhere we look; everyone is trying to outdo the other, putting in inhuman efforts and even finding the loopholes of others to beef up their strength. Companies and brand are trying hard to outwit their competitors, providing better servicing at the detriment of others, looking at the imperfections of other ventures to better their own ventures.

In some case, others are downplaying the efforts of their fellow entrepreneurs just so they can uplift their own personal ventures, the competitiveness is so visible and diabolic and this is why its often difficult to stand out in your hustle, your efforts and your strivings.

In Nigeria for example the amount of internet fraudsters are so alarming, the amount of money these people make from these scammy ventures are often unreal sometimes it makes a struggling young man feel totally lazy, it makes it seem like legitimate business ventures doesn't really pay anymore, this sort of invisible pressure brings a sense of unfair circumstances when people are competing through the regular ranks of life.

Inasmuch as we shouldn't really bask in our efforts we need to often take away sentiments for us to realize appreciate how far we have come, money shouldn't be a yardstick to measure progress, sometimes people are bitter that they haven't hit the milestones they want despite giving everything they have. Not everyone is capable of competing at the highest level of life and we shouldn't think people who can't are lazy or unserious.

People have diverse abilities, strength and weaknesses, I once heard a motivational speaker tell people to make money when others are sleeping this felt too intense to me, there are so many people looking for sleeping pills to buy in hospitals that wouldn't really have side effects on them. These people have huge investment and money but they can't even purchase the ability to fall asleep.

If people are willing to lose sleep to make money, it shows you that they're are people looking for unfair advantage that would allow them dominate any level of competition and this doesn't seem normal or natural in any sense and that was why I said Competitiveness amongst people can be taken to a diabolical level.

When we pay attention to our fact that we haven't gotten it all it makes us forget that we have won in so many areas of our struggles. Human beings have insatiability in their core psychology anatomy and it takes core control to drown this natural instinct. Nevertheless, in our most reasonable state we need to always see "win-wins" in every every effort because it gives off a positive aura for continuity.
