About This Quote
People will always find something to complain about, be it something that happened on television or that happened to them. If they have a bad day, then they will go on the internet and complain on all the blogs, Twitter, Facebook, etc. The people who are happy on a day-to-day basis are those who will accept what is happening on their own lives as part of life. If things are not going well for them, they will not go online and complain but rather move on to the next day. They are not caught up in the negative emotions of others but rather focus on what they can do to make their lives better.
