We often complain about(抱怨) the weather, the traffic, and the plants in our yard.

Consider the importance of accepting the change. 2 But when given the choice(选择), most of us would prefer to give life rather than waste life with our words. 3 Life is not always going to achieve what we would like ( or even expect) at every turn.

When you are drinking coffee or having lunch with your friends? Maybe it is around the water cooler(饮水冷却器) with your co- workers. Take notice. Then, avoid triggers if possible.
