Ponder 11

#MM_CLT_PONDERS Point to Ponder: Have a Holistic approach towards everything. Explanation: To have a overall look at things or think from all possible angles and accept reality. Example: If you are given a harsh comment, try to look at the point instead how it has been told or understand the nature. Scenario: If a person comments your work, or has a point against your point:: 1.  you be a judge (third person view)and try to understand everyone has their own point. 2. if you feel the other person has a right point that can be learnt, just take it. 3. Do not look at the way they imply it. And understand thats how they know to say it. 4.If their planned motto is to hurt you, prove them wrong . You don't need to oblige such person. 5. Or if you have even more holistic approach, (maturity at its peak), simply ignore and stay calm. #TryIt
