Our enemy is our Best Friend:

You become very happy when someone praises something good about you. You do not think whether what they say is true or not. Many do not think whether they are eligible for the praise. If they find out the real reason someone praise, you will avoid many problems in your life. Refusal of praise is the beginning of wisdom to proactively prevent your sufferings.
Fish in the Pond thinks that some good hearted person has sent food for him. The fish catches the food and gets trapped in the bait. There is not much difference between the fish and the person who is under the influence of praise. Both fall prey finally.

Why refusal of Praise

At the same time, if someone says something bad about you, your face turns red, anger kicks in and you are unable to figure out the truth in the words. When somebody says something which you are not, why should you be angry at someone’s ignorance? We always think that others are the primary cause of our miseries. We often forget that we are the primary cause of our sufferings. What is the use in figuring out this after losing the major part of the life? Many never figure this out and die complaining others for their misery in life. Hitler told that his decline was not because of him but because of his general. If he could have mastered refusal of praise, he wouldn’t have carried away by other’s words.

What have you learned from people who are nicer to you, always praise you, who gave a path for you to proceed?

If you think so, you may be wrong. You learn a lot more from people who hate you, who were obstacles in your path and the one who fought and argued against you and your thoughts. The enemy can help you identify your weakness. Their tongue talks about what our mistakes are. Our friends talk about what is already good in us. They value us more than what we deserve, so it becomes difficult for them to identify our shortcomings.

If you want to write a great book, make sure that you get it reviewed by your enemy. If you get angry with people who inform your shortcomings, then you lose the chance to change yourself.
