Stop Whining and Start Winning
I wanted to say something but I couldn’t get a word in.
My wife’s friend Rachel wouldn’t stop complaining.
For twenty minutes she bombarded me with a series of complaints. She complained about her job. She complained about her company’s new policies. She complained about the economy. Most of all she complained about her lack of sales.
