You need to pay attention to those criticism cuz a few of them could be right.
If EVERYONE in the WORLD says you are WRONG... and yet you think you are RIGHT.. then something is seriously WRONG wit you.
How do you know that you are in the right and the whole world is in the wrong?
Ya. you can choose to ignore the bigger world and live within your righteous world.
You may think it's wrong now, but it may not be so for future.

The story given below is quite interesting and really gives us an
insight into DECISION MAKING.
Which one will you choose?
A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track. The train came, and you were just beside the track interchange. You could make the train change its course to the disused track and saved most of the kids.
However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?

>Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make.
Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and
sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess.
Exactly, I thought the same way initially because to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally.
But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?
Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are.
The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.
The friend who forwarded me the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.
If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.
While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.
"Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right."
Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils.
**Seems like I belong to the minority cos my first tot is leave it as it is becos I guess there might be more ppl in the train than the disuse track.
HK,
This one is a bad story leh.
Got such a thing as emergency stop brutton you know ?
AND also hor.. plese .. playing on train track.. used or unused.. IS DANGEROUS.
So both group of kid/s are wrong.
but it tells us one impt fact.
more ppl agreein on the same ting doesnt mean they muz be rite.
sometimes you just have to accept it. sounds pretty demeaning to yourself but it's better in a way. better than ppl saying that you die die dun wan admit mistake. then if one day the truth is out then they may feel guilty too. haha
hmm just a thought. if you say you are right and you know it, but the whole world say you are wrong, does that make you wrong?
Don't reject critcisim outrightly.
See and think first.
Could shows another perspective that you fail to understand and probably could benefit you if you are open to it.
If not, then forget it. Let go.
If the whole world critcize you wrongly, then you try to prove them you are right lah.
If not, be humble and admit it.
