And I'm mighty proud to learn how my boy stood up to it. You couldn't ask any more of a grown man... It's not a thing you can forget. I don't guess it's a thing you ought to forget. What I mean is, things like that happen. They may seem mighty cruel and unfair, but that's how life is part of the time. But that isn't the only way life is. A part of the time, it's mighty good. And a man can't afford to waste all the good part, worrying about the bad parts. That makes it all bad.","author":"Fred Gipson","tags":["gratitude","manhood","maturity","optimism","whining"],"id":74502,"author_id":"Fred+Gipson"},{"text":"They will cry, he will shout but you must sweat.","author":"Amit Kalantri","tags":["action","amit-kalantri","amit-kalantri","amit-kalantri-writer","complain","complaining","confidence","cry","crying","inspirational","motivational","philosophy","shout","sweat","sweating","taking-action","whining","wisdom","work-hard","working"],"id":132197,"author_id":"Amit+Kalantri"},{"text":"People who complain about something that they cannot do anything about are as irritating as those who complain about something that they can do something about.","author":"Mokokoma Mokhonoana","tags":["action","change","complain","complaining","facts-of-life","whine","whining"],"id":144513,"author_id":"Mokokoma+Mokhonoana"},{"text":"Most people will actually tell you, traveling to those exotic places is enjoying life, but really they are spending away and whining away their lives.","author":"Sunday Adelaja","tags":["actually","enjoying","life","lives","people","really","tell","whining","will"],"id":198672,"author_id":"Sunday+Adelaja"},{"text":"If you took one-tenth the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out... Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals.
