The difference between complaining and ‘complaining’.
When you feel short changed, aggrieved or vexed then you have the right to get across your dissatisfaction. However, how you do it is what will set you apart.
I cannot stand people who just complain and whine for the sake of complaining and whining. Especially when they haven’t fully understood what has happened. If something isn’t as good as it should be, then by all means have your voice heard - but never be one of those people that will just say something is “crap” but not have thought through why, or more importantly what would make it better.
The people who just say it’s “crap” without having any more input are doing nothing other than bitching. Bitching will get you nowhere in life. It will only ever get you the attention of other small minded people, with big mouths. Furthermore to this is the balance between criticism and constructive criticism. It’s kind of the same as saying something’s “crap” or saying something’s “not right - but I feel/believe....” see the difference? Starting with a harsh negative can also be condescending to the person who may have been trying their best.
Never be afraid to stand up and speak up, because if you do you are part of the solution. How amazing is it to think that what could be dismissed a thought mulled over in the back of your mind, could indeed be something so much bigger. It could be the turning point. It could be your moment to shine because you have had an idea that nobody else has had before you, or if they did they haven’t had the courage and conviction to stand up and put it out there.
Be brave enough to be part of the solution, be strong enough to know that you already have it inside you.
What is different is always more interesting to what is normal...
