Forget criticism and move on

Letters

LIFE will not always be fair.
It is true that all of us here on this planet face problems.
What makes the difference is how we approach our problem.
This country is full of intelligent people and yet many of us are still looking down on ourselves.
Do not expect things to come easy. If you want to produce impressive results in whatever endeavor you are in, you should expect to face great challenges.
Sometimes challenges come in the form of criticism and often the criticism comes from people close to you.
People of Papua New Guinea, many times we do not use our talent, skill and knowledge because we listen too much to our critics.
I for one love criticisms but I don’t dwell on them. There are people who will tell you that you cannot do it or that you are not good enough.
Wake up PNG, we need to unleash our own great potential. We need to stand up for ourselves. It is not anyone else but you yourself that should be blamed for everything that has ever happened to you.
When we fail, we learn to approach life from a different and better perspective. If it was not for failure, technology would never have been as good as it is today.
