To Understand The Human Mind

It is interesting to see how human being react when criticize. 
Earlier today I have witness something that I have desperately wanted to understand.
I know that I am no one to judge who ever that it may concern but it triggers my curiosity.



Scene 1 :


You have been given a task by your teacher a few weeks back and you have been 
pouring your whole heart into it so that it may come out just almost perfect.
You went through every little detail made ; checking it and re-checking it for flaws.
Satisfied, you thought it will give that impact you desired.
Finally, its the day to present. You came in late and everything was out of hand.
You tried to explain to your teacher that the bus was late but your teacher
said he would not compensate anything. So, you ask for your 
teacher's mercy to gain his approval to show you your piece.
After going through it your teacher simply said you could have done better
 and was not satisfied with your piece.
              

Reaction 1 :  
Thank your teacher for his comments and make a mental note to be better next time.

Reaction 2 : 
With an angry expression half heartedly thank your teacher and the moment your
teacher turn his back you curse him and said you are better than your teacher.



Scene 2 :

A mother was lecturing her teenage daughter and sons why is it important
that they should study smart. While the mother was talking, her sons was
whispering and snickering to each other. The mother exploded and said her
sons should respect her while she was talking. It is not decent the mother
said to talk while someone was trying to tell you something that
is very important. It is vital to keep quiet and listen because they
may want to know the things their mother was trying to deliver.


Reaction 1 : 
Apologize and take it in a positive manner.

Reaction 2 : 
Make a face, ignore the mother and make a mental note to not to listen to the mother.


Different human beings have different reaction this I know.
What I don't understand is that why some human begins will directly take a
comment or remarks as a negative entity. 
Can't they see that these people are just trying to help and they actually
meant well and they are not trying to bring them down?
Some of them even hold a grudge.



To understand the human mind is a very hard business but I hope someday
I will find an answer that will compensate my curiosity.
