“If you took one-tenth the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out ... Complaining does not work as a strategy.

“I know it's important to do more than just complain when there's something you don't like. You need to try to do something about it, or you're nothing but a whiner.”

“Someone may have all the technical knowledge, scientific intellect and business know-how but when he/she decides to choose laziness, excuses, procrastination, complaining and other bad attitudes, his/her relevance is meaningless.”

― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes
