“Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain （抱怨） but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.”— Dale Carnegie

If we really want to be happy, why do we act like such babies?

We can claim（聲稱） to be proactive（主動(dòng)的）in our life by settings goals and going after what we want. But if we’re always whining and complaining all the time, are we really living effectively?

1  Whether it be being stuck in traffic, being bothered by the weather, not enough mustard on your sandwich, or whatever it is, there are endless instances where you can find a reason to complain.

But it’s not just outside circumstances that we complain about.   2  We complain about about ourselves too. We complain that we don’t have enough time, we don’t have enough money （this one is huge because it’s often “true”）, that we’re not smart enough, cool enough, or just enough.

      3  I never really thought about it much until I found this website about “l(fā)iving in a complain free world.”

Imagine how much happier you would be if you simply stopped complaining? Much of what you complain about is outside of your control anyway. What’s the point of brooding about something you have no power to change?   4 

Simply becoming conscious of how much you complain is the first step to stopping. When you recognize that you’re complaining, stop and take notice of it. Ask yourself if you would rather complain, or be happy.

      5 

       A．We complain about ourselves too.

       B．Not very intelligent, if you ask me.

       C．Why can’t we complain about things around us?

       D．Are you ready to live a complaint – free, happier life?

       E．What you’re complaining about may make you quite unhappy.

       F．If you don’t believe me, count how many times you complain in one day.

       G．I’ve experienced lots of unpleasantness for complaining about things I can’t control.
