Don't Be A Complainer

See Yourself, Teach Yourself, Improve Yourself

Most people don’t want to be around someone who is constantly complaining about their minor problems. We are not talking about sharing a major problem with your parents, teachers, or good friends.  In fact, your parents, teachers, and friends want to hear about your serious problems so they can help.  What we are talking about here is constantly complaining about our minor day-to-day problems, which happen to all of us.  Maybe you are tired from getting up early or you have a minor headache. Maybe you did not get the grade that you wanted on a test or you have a lot of homework.  These are minor problems that most people are not interested in hearing about.  Why?  Because they have their OWN problems to deal with!

Think about people you know who are consistently complaining about their minor problems.  It is tough sometimes to be around them because they seem to bring the conversation down.  People want to be around others that bring them up, not down.  Try asking others questions, making interesting conversation or having fun with people, rather than complaining about your minor problems which the other person is not really interested in. 

We all have minor problems! Try to avoid complaining about them!
