Be cheerful ten times as much as you complain. Communicate and listen more than you are silent with others. In other words, put on a happy face and be positive in your life. You only have one life to live.

About This Quote

We are taught that the world is a cruel place, full of sorrow and bad things happening. We are trained to complain about everything that goes wrong in our life. We are told that complaining is the only way to get what we want. However, there is another way to approach life.

When we become negative in our outlook, we stop enjoying the good things in life. That’s when we stop smiling and laughing. There is nothing wrong with complaining, but it should be done in moderation.

Most of the time, problems are not permanent and if you keep complaining, you will eventually find your path back to happiness.
