Think before complaining

Today, before you complain about the taste your food, think about someone who does not have anything to eat.

Before you complain do not have anything, think about someone who had to beg in the streets.


Before you complain that you're bad, think about someone who is at its worst in his life.

Before you complain about your partner, think about someone who begged the Lord to be given a life partner.

Before you complain about the fate of your life, think about someone who died too soon.

Before you complain about your children, think about someone who really wants to have children but she was barren.

Before you complain about your dirty house for your helpers fail, think about the people who live the street with what it is.

Before you complain about the distance you have to drive, think about the person the same distance by walking.

And, when you are tired and complain about your job, think about the unemployed and people with disabilities who are looking for a job like you.

Before you show your index finger to blame others, think that the other four fingers are pointing to you and no one who never makes mistakes.

********************
If you are able to think before you complain, then when you're sad and your life in distress.
You will be thankful to the Lord that you were given life.

When I need to bathe me, do not be mad at me. Remember when I had to put all the little ways that you want to take a bath.

While I do not know a thing about technology and new things, not fun. Think about what time I was so impatient to answer every "why"from you.

While I can not walk, Lending a hand is still strong enough to lead me. As I lead you when you learned to walk when still small.

When I was momentarily forgot our conversation, give me time to remember. Actually what was said to me is not important, as long as you're beside me listening, I've been very happy.

When you look at me the starting age, do not grieve. Understand me, supporting me, as I deal with you when you begin to learn to live. At that time, I gave instructions how to live life, now accompany me to run the rest of my life. Give me the love and patience, I will give you a smile full of gratitude, the smile, there are an infinite love for you.

***************************

The second one said, "I am affectionate. But I'm not useful anymore, Humans do not want to know me. For this reason there is no point in me still burning. "Gust of wind put out the second candle.

Sadly the third candle spoke, "I was in love. I could no longer lit, Man no longer look at and think is useful. They hated each other even hate those who love him, hate his family. "

Unexpectedly, a child entered the room and saw the three candles were extinguished. For fear of darkness, he said, "What happened? You must remain on, I'm afraid if the room is dark! "And the boy burst into tears.

Then with a troubled fourth candle said, "Do not be afraid and do not cry, while I'm still around and fired, we can always keep a candle lit another third. I am the HOPE. "With shining eyes, the child took the candle of hope and rekindle the other three candles.
