Singapore Expats

This is for all those who complain about their lives and/or how their day went...

LIFE IS A GIFT

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she was blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her, she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him.

Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying. "Just take care of my eyes dear."

This is how ones mind changes when ones situation changes. Only few remember what their lives were like before and who's always been there for them even in the most painful situations.

Life Is A Gift

Today before you think of saying an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.

Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who had a short life.

Before you complain about your children, think of someone who can only dream of having them.

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep, think of the homeless.

Before whining about the distance you drive, think of someone who WALKS the same distance.

When you're tired and you complain about your job, think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

Before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another, remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one Maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down, put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around to enjoy life and the beauty that surrounds us. Thank God for the family and friends who's companies you enjoy.

Life is a gift: LIVE IT, ENJOY IT, CELEBRATE IT and FULFILL IT !!!

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian. We take life as it comes and try our very best to make the most of what we have. It is up to us to make each of our lives worse or better.

A pleasant day to all and may we all cherish today and everyday the most precious blessing that God has given us.

Cheers !!!

Pples complain means we still have a room to improve!!!

Nobody is perfect in this world but we surely not the worst country...

Saint73,

Why you walk around with chip on shoulder? Nobody was saying anything about Singapore. Guilty Conscious?

Or worse, a guilty conscience?

You have misunderstood... I am juz contented my situation I din said ...

why cant we complaint?

errr.....you know what....you are right. My wife complaints about me so much, maybe I should let her see your post. And I can be the King of the House....

I don't really go against "complaints" if people complain in the right manner and attitude. Here some tips......

You should attempt to resolve your complaint directly with the parties involved: i.e. take the product purchased back to the shop, or attempt to have the service redone.

You should contact the relevant senior management or customer services department. It may be necessary to communicate with them several times before taking the next step. Most good organisations will have internal complaints procedures and complaints are often resolved using these. However sometimes they aren't and that's when you should consider the third step. It is worth mentioning that you are considering or have decided to take your complaint to the relevant authorities, sometimes this may provoke more serious consideration of a complaint

hey guys chill out...

this post was meant for those people who complain about their lives if you read carefully...

it's for those people who can never be satisfied with what they have or don't have...

thanks n_e... i liked this one once i read it, got it from a friend, i'm not really the type of person who's into forwarded e-mails and stuff like that but this one caught my attention when i read coz as most of us experiences whether we admit or not, there are times when things are just f*(&^% up and the most you can do is complain and think how unlucky you are... not knowing that there are people out there who have more things to worry and think about than you... anyways thanks for the appreciation...
