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

如果我们想要变得高兴，为什么要像小孩子那样呢?

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?

我们可以积极主动的在我们生活中设定目标，然后向着目标进发。但是如果我们整天牢骚满腹，怨天尤人的话，我们还会活的有效率吗?

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，仔细想想你一天要抱怨几次。不管是因为糟糕的交通困住，被天气所困扰，还是三明治上芥末放的不够，总之生活中有无数的烦心事可以让我们抱怨。

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.

不仅仅外部的环境让我们抱怨，我们还不断的抱怨我们自己。比如时间不够啊，钱不够花啊，不够聪明不够冷静啊，反正什么看上去都不够好。
