The thing that annoys me the most is people
who complain. I cannot stand complainers! Now, many of you may be reading this
and thinking, ‘Whoa, what a hypocrite! She complains all the time!’ and yeah, I
know a lot of my blog posts have been general rants aimed at random people and
things. But you see, I don’t complain in ‘real’ life. There was a time (ahem… a
couple of weeks ago!) when I would use SITTING…
and thinking as some sort of tool to vent my frustration at various
occurrences but all that is over! I swear to never complain on here again.
*famous last words* Anyway, as I was saying, people who know me wouldn’t really
refer to me as someone who grumbles/whines/nitpicks/nags… I either say nice
things or don’t say anything at all. (This is why I’m so quiet when around my
older sister. Ahem.) Anyway, let’s not stray from the point! Complainers annoy
me. I know that I am now complaining about complainers but please just bear
with me because I think that complaining about people who complain is a valid
complaint. (If you think I’m going mad, I’m not. I’m just trying to sound
funny.) OK, this is kind of confusing. Let me start another paragraph.
People who complain will never be
satisfied. They will ALWAYS find something new to complain about. I know that
loads of ordinary citizens are unemployed etc but that is not a valid reason to
just whinge all day! Look at what you DO have, a house maybe, a car, family,
people who care for you. And if you have none of those things then look at what
YOU have. You’re not disabled, you’re not stuck in a warzone (at least I hope
not), you can read, you can talk… everyone has some skill or talent that they
can use for their own benefit and for the benefit of society. You should be
grateful for what you HAVE got and should not endlessly complain about what you
HAVEN’T got. People who complain also tend to be scowling all the time and do
you really want to end up with frown lines?! (If you already have frown lines,
do you want to get even more severe frown lines?) You should be positive
because the situation is going to stay the time no matter what you say. It’s
what you DO that can change it. So don’t complain… get up and make an effort to
sort the problem out. Changing your attitude will make you see the whole world
in a different light. And also, if you’re REALLY annoyed about something and
you literally feel like punching someone, drink a nice glass of cold water and
think about what wonderful self-control you have. Smiling doesn’t take much
effort really. It makes you more attractive, it cheers you up and it makes
people around you feel happy too. I mean, c’mon, suppose you walked into work
one morning and the receptionist glared at you… wouldn’t make you feel very
good would it? Think about other people in the world, those who are starving,
dying from polluted water… and then think about what you’re complaining about.
Doesn’t feel so good does it? So, smile more and complain less and I promise
you, that you’ll feel better.
PS. Sweet_as_candy AKA Emma, the most amazing online
friend of mine has introduced me to a world of Roald Dahl quotes, so read these
and maybe you’ll start your day (or finish your day) feeling much better!
