The Nick Vujicic Story
I can easily look back to my days in school and remember, along with my peers, spending more time complaining than working. And it really wasn’t that I had a problem with school or anything else. You see, griping is—well it’s just what we did. Somehow by constantly complaining, I guess we were able to appease our over-inflated egos or something.
And even now, I still see that same attitude among various young people. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Look closely at your situation. If you truly have a problem at school, at work if you have a job, or even at home, face it head-on and solve it. Don’t just sit around and gripe about it! Griping and complaining are always counter-productive.
