2. Never Complain

This story is simply one of the best ones. It revolves around the hottest time of the year. The sun was scorching hot. Two passengers were travelling down a sandy road with no trees on either side. They came upon a tree with large leaves and branches stretched out like an umbrella as they looked for some shade from the blazing heat.

never complain story

They sat in the pleasant, dense shade of the tree, their stuff on the ground. “What a worthless tree that is!” one traveller tells the other after taking a break. It doesn’t produce any fruit in the least.”

The tree felt squeezed and screamed, “You ungrateful soul!” after hearing this. On the one hand, you’re seeking refuge from the sun’s scorching heat in my cool shade, and on the other, you’re dismissing me as worthless. Get up and leave the area right away, or you’ll get burnt again.”

Moral of the story:

Stop complaining and always be grateful for what you have in your hands. Some others don’t even have what you have, so start appreciating what you have.

I can forgive you but you have to come outside. And keep your eyes close. I am very-very scary, If youโ€™ll see me youโ€ ll lose consciousness.ย
