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.

Accept people the way they are

A student who had just returned from the battlefield to call parents at home. His parents were so happy to hear her son had returned. They immediately ordered him to go home. The young man could not wait any longer to come together with his family for months after he had been on the battlefield.



The young man asked his parents if he could bring his friend to stay with them. The parents agree to it, and anyway they still have an extra room at home. One person certainly not going to bother. "But my friend was defective. He only has one arm and one leg only. "So the young man gave an explanation for his parents was not surprised later.

Anyway, you should immediately go home. We really miss you, tomorrow morning we will pick you up. Where do you live now? "Hearing her parents, the young man gave his hotel address and hung up, disappointed.

The next day, the young man's parents pick her up at the hotel and found out that the young man had committed suicide by dropping him through the window. After seeing the body of her son, how heart broken they find out that her son had only one arm and one leg.

Chicken and Cow

"What's wrong?" Asked a rich man to the maid, "People say to me stingy. Yet everyone knows that if I die, I'll give everything I have to charity and the orphanage! "

"I'll tell fable about chickens and cows." Replies the waiter.

Beef is so popular, while the chicken is not at all. This is very surprising that the Chicken. Chicken said to the cow, "They think you're generous because every heart you give them the cream and milk. But, what about me? I gave everything I had. I gave the meat, I give my feathers. In fact, they cook and make soup with my feet to the broth. Nothing like that. Why is it really so? "

The cow said, "Maybe because I gave it when I was alive, while you give it after you die."

Give and merciful to those around us as God still gives us life, as we are able to do it. Let us not waiting until death.
