If we really want to be happy, why do we act like such babies?

如果我們想要變得高興，為什么要像小孩子那樣呢?

We can claim to be proactive in our life by settings goals and going after what we want. But if we’re always whining and complaining all the time, are we really living effectively?

我們可以積極主動的在我們生活中設定目標，然后向著目標進發。但是如果我們整天牢騷滿腹，怨天尤人的話，我們還會活的有效率嗎?

If you don’t believe me, count how many times you complain about something or other in one day. Whether it be being stuck in traffic, being bothered by the weather, not enough mustard on your sandwich, or whatever it is, there are endless instances where you can find a reason to complain.

如果你不相信我，仔細想想你一天要抱怨幾次。不管是因為糟糕的交通困住，被天氣所困擾，還是三明治上芥末放的不夠，總之生活中有無數的煩心事可以讓我們抱怨。

But it’s not just outside circumstances that we complain about. We complain about about ourselves too. We complain that we don’t have enough time, we don’t have enough money (this one is huge because it’s often “true”), that we’re not smart enough, cool enough, or just enough.

不僅僅外部的環境讓我們抱怨，我們還不斷的抱怨我們自己。比如時間不夠啊，錢不夠花啊，不夠聰明不夠冷靜啊，反正什么看上去都不夠好。
