TOO
MANY
people
go
through
life
____________________
about
their
problems
?
I've
known
some
terrific
non
-
complainers
in
my
life
.
One
was
Sandy
Blatt
,
my
landlord
during
____________________
school
.
?
Sandy
had
been
a
____________________
athlete
,
and
at
the
time
of
the
accident
,
he
was
engaged
to
be
married
.
He
didn't
want
to
be
a
burden
to
his
____________________
so
he
told
her
,
?
I
met
Sandy
when
he
was
in
his
thirties
,
and
he
just
wowed
me
with
his
attitude
.
He
had
this
____________________
non
-
whining
aura
about
him
.
He
had
worked
hard
and
become
a
licensed
____________________
counselor
.
He
got
married
and
adopted
children
?
.
My
favorite
non
-
complainer
of
all
time
may
be
Jackie
Robinson
,
the
first
African
____________________
to
play
Major
League
Baseball
.
He
endured
racism
that
many
young
people
today
couldn't
even
____________________
.
I
used
to
have
a
photo
of
Jackie
Robinson
hanging
in
my
office
,
and
it
saddened
me
that
so
many
students
couldn't
____________________
him
,
or
knew
little
about
him
.
Many
never
even
noticed
the
photo
.
Young
people
raised
on
color
TV
don't
spend
a
lot
of
time
looking
at
blackand
-
white
____________________
.
That's
too
bad
.
There
are
no
better
role
models
than
people
like
Jackie
Robinson
and
Sandy
Blatt
.
The
____________________
in
their
stories
is
this
:
Complaining
does
not
work
as
a
strategy
.
We
all
have
finite
time
and
energy
.
Any
time
we
spend
whining
is
unlikely
to
help
us
achieve
our
goals
.
