TO CREATE OR TO CRITICIZE?
Is it easier to create something or to criticize it? Or which one is more valuable?
Creating something is, of course, very valuable. But observing its missing or faulty aspects and providing constructive criticism is at least as valuable. Because a product or service only finds its true value and moves toward perfection thanks to those who strengthen it with constructive criticism.
However, constructive criticism is difficult. According to our company constitution, making mere criticism is strictly forbidden and is grounds for termination of employment. Constructive criticism, on the other hand, is free to the end. In other words, it is forbidden to say “this didn’t work,” but it is completely free to say “it would be better if it were like this.”
Because constructive criticism requires knowledge, observation, analysis, effort, time, experience, experimentation, and most importantly, good intentions.
Criticism, on the other hand, is simple. You just say “it didn’t work” and move on. It contains arrogance, envy, disrespect for effort, and worst of all, malice.
But as we see, in our beautiful country, declaring opinions on every subject without having knowledge is considered very valuable. Of course, people have freedom of thought, and not everyone has to like everything. But how can a person be considered valuable just through partisanship, without doing anything or adding any value?
This state of “valuableness,” which consists only of deceiving oneself, is known and observed by society, even if that person is unaware of it. My late father used to say: “If work is being done somewhere, there will certainly be mistakes; if there are no mistakes, there is no work.”
Special for Our 13th Year
The sole and unconditional condition for a society to rise is production. Nowadays, production alone is not enough; value-added production is required. The key to value-added production is being original.
I never forget, in our early years regarding the technology we produced, we requested support from many places, from the professional chamber I belonged to, to public administrators. As if they had made a pact, they all said in unison: “We cannot provide support that distorts competition.”
Even a group of public managers said that if there is no competition, the public sector cannot choose you. The truth was exactly the opposite; competition was not sought for patented products, and even a circular had been published on the subject.
Of course, competition between companies living in the same place and doing the same job should not be prevented. The public interest can only be possible through competition to find the best in terms of both cost and quality.
At this exact point, while there are dozens of companies doing the same job where there should be competition, trying to demand competition when you are the only one doing a specific job is, from the best perspective, ignorance…
Of course, these perspectives, groundless criticisms, and every situation that pushes you serve no purpose other than to be recorded as a plus on your side, provided you do not give up. But since it becomes more logical to take the wind at your back instead of going against it after a certain point, you must present your original designs in the format requested by the administration.
This is where our new generation surge arrester products—the smart surge arresters produced with domestic resources by nationalizing the surge arresters produced by world brands and adding unique features—are exactly what the administration wants. They are produced globally, yet we have added value with many necessary features.
In our 13th year, we enter with the “pluses” gained from all the negativities we have experienced. We now have a brand registered in 75% of the world, our place in regulations and specifications, customer satisfaction, and the added value we provide.
To many more decades…
Simple precautions sometimes save lives. The best investment we can make for our family, our business, and our environment is protective measures. With Trimbox and GNDSeries, you can be protected from electricity-related damages and electrical contact fires caused by them.
