Here is the reason why you shouldn’t complain.

Here is  quick Story:

A guy named Fred, works at a construction site and learns that he will be having sardine sandwich for lunch.

1st day: He opens up his lunch box and screams SARDINE SANDWICH!!! I don’t like sardine sandwich. So he goes around and asks his co workers “would you like to trade sandwich with me?” and they say no.

2nd day: he opens up his lunch box and says, SARDINE SANDWICH AGAIN!!and he goes around asking his co workers “would you like to trade sandwich with me?” and they say no.

3rd day: he opens up his lunch box and says, SARDINE SANDWICH AGAIN!! I HATE SARDINE SANDWICH, I HATE IT! and he goes around asking his co workers “would you like to trade sandwich with me?” and they say no.

Finally this time, the foreman comes up to Fred and said “hey Fred, You’re really bothering the other guys with your sardine sandwich complain, Jesus! if you dont like sardine sandwich, When you come home today, you tell your wife to stop making you sardine sandwich for lunch”

and Fred says “Wife??!! what wife, I don’t have a wife, I make my own sandwich!”

NOT YOU!! but there are people out there who are like Fred. You often hear friends and family complain about their weight, but really! who ate the food?!! they complain about not having money, who spent the money?! they complain about their credit card debts, who’s been swiping the damn thing.

The point is, don’t complain! you have to remember that as hard as it may be, you put yourself in that situation. The good thing is, If you don’t like the way things are, you have the choice of changing it!

always remember, you have a  choice!
