Today, before you complain about the of your food，think of someone who has nothing to . Before you complain about life，think of someone who went to heaven（天堂）too early. Before you complain about your old , think of the people who are living in the streets.And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of those who have no jobs.So what you have and don’t forget your past.
