Hello Mylotter,
I have seen lot of people who easily get hurt by the small issues in life they even know that every person encounters problem and sometime their problem is much higher than those people.
Recently I met an old friend who was recently having financial crisis as he bought a new house and was just being sad that he has not much money left to enjoy as every month he has to pay EMI.But he never thought of people like me who don't have their own houses,at least he should be happy that he now has his own house.What do you say about those people?

No I'm not that kind of person.I am a person that every problems that comes in my life, I will take it as a challenge for me. Your friend have decided good.Because even she dont have much money she had already house.She just need to relax and go with the flow in her life because all things have good reason why did happen thing to us.

yes, i have seen many people who keeps on complaining about their lives. they don't have this and that but the truth is they are the one who is making their lives more complicated. we must always be thankful on what we have because other people a less fortunate than us and for sure they will appreciate what we have if there are on our feet. it is just right to enjoy what you have and do not bother with what you don't have because i believe that God provide just what we need.

Hello shylade,
Complaining about things is very bad they should understand that it would be better to work hard to acheive those things for which they feel panic they don't have.I am not that sort of a person i know my limits and don't wish more which i feel i won't be able to acheive in life.

Hi SJ
I really feel weird when I hear something like that from someone. Yes I have heard that thing from many people, and I just think that why they aren't satisfied?!
Surely getting our own house is the big thing. And I know few people who have struggle lot for getting that. So surely its a big deal and that person should be happy that he able to got it at least. I mean if he isn't having his own house then he has to go for some rent house. So instead of rent its good to pay EMI for our own thing.

Hello Anand,
That's what i feel some people don't get satisfied with the things they always wish if they could have something more but they forget that they can't get everything they wish they need to work hard for it they just can't leave it for luck.

Hi sjvg,
In my opinion, it is human nature. We often are not satisfied with what we have. If we get one thing, we are still unhappy about because there are some things we have to do too. Like if we are earning good, we spend a little more than those people who earns less.
But anyway, it is a blessing that your friend already has his own house. Something for him to be thankful about.

Hello enelym001,
Yes satisfaction is the key one should have his limits fixed its not that someone may wish to have stars from the sky which is impossible and someone who cries for not having the stars may be the person who does not know what he wants.

If there is only one problem, I do not feel down. I still have the energy to face it. But there are times that after one problems, comes next problem. Then, sometimes while we are not yet having a solution to a particular problem there will come one, two or more problems that make me down.
Most of the time, I hear people say that God won't give problems we cannot handle. I think He gives us problems to make us stronger and to appreciate what we already had. Most of the time, we tend to forget to count our blessings and I think that whenever we get down, that is the thing we should never forget.

Hi sjvg
Those who fail to see the goodness with them... they are more unlucky than us. But today this seems to be the way of life... we dont get too much of time to realize and be thankful for what we have got.
And as far as Money in concerned... it has always been inversely proportional to so many things... peace, friends, relations...

Hi Sids,
That's right i always wonder why people in olden days used to live more happily then us and i have found the reason for it that they used to think less about money.Certainly people must be thankful for what they have and should not panic for what they don't have.This is the basic for any person to remain happy in life.

Hi sj,
Although all the builders and developers promises you to ‘get you easy EMI’ for your ‘dream home’, it is our responsibility to make sure the EMI is paid without fail. As when we fail, we need to give the interest amount extra. Though the house can be an asset but the liabilities include paying EMI, insurance, maintenance and a lot more. At least in a rented house, the landlord/lady will not charge you the extra interest amount and the annual maintenance is upto them… hope you have more chances to enjoy now.. LOL.

Hi Viju,
Oh yes that's the reason i don't try hard to buy a flat moreover the rates are too high in Delhi and total EMI which a person has to pay is very difficult for a middle class person.So the dream home is like a dream for people like me these days.I have been presently living in the parental house and living comfortably.

I am with you, in the early years before I married to my husband I used to heard him saying lucky he was when he was young because most of the time he has to eat spaghetti for his parents could save up money and took them to the Disneyland. And in other hand he was so happy has chance to visit both Disneyland and Disneyworld couple times and traveled to other country with his family. When I listen to his story I was just quite and when he done I told him, honey you should learn being grateful and see everything half full instead of half empty. ate spaghetti often and went to Dysneland and Dysneworld and also traveled abroad was NOTHING, because outside there many children can not eat, not even spagheti, they just don't have anything to eat and they still can not go to Dysneland like you did. So you should be grateful. I remember since that day his attitute have drastically changed and now he likes to think the positive side rather than the negative one. I think same as your friend, he complaining about doesn't have much money because he has responsibility that he have chosen (when he decided to buy house) he just being ungrateful with the blessing that he gets. Maybe next time he complains you should tell him to be grateful that God provide him money to buy the house when other people don't have one.

Hello TheIzers,
I will definitely tell him that he should be more grateful for the things he has got and should not panic for the things which he does not have as there in the world there are lot of people who don't have nothing to eat and no shelter to live in.He should change his attitude too may be that way he could live more happily.

They should be happy coz they already bought what they want but they should bought in cash basis so that they will not have a problem paying it on installment basis.

Hello chelogirl,
Yes he should be happy about that but he is sad for other things now.BTW he was not having that much cash so he bought it on installments.The rates of houses here in Delhi are too high its not that easy for someone to buy these in cash.

For everyone, there own problem is the biggest when they encounter it the first time, and it's just the part of human nature wanting to complain about it. I complain sometimes, too (like, for example, when I hurt my leg badly, my first thought isn't going to be that at least I have legs, I would lie if I say it was). But I try to limit complaining. I usually write it down in my blog, sometimes codedly, not to offend anyone, and if I encounter a problem, I might sob over it from some time, but I gain some energy, stand up, and fight against it, too.

this is pessimistic aptitude or negative thinking. I bought a new house and I should enjoy for that is positive thinking.
Those peoples have to change their thinking.

Maybe these are the person who are never satisfied with what they have, for me I only do what I do best, never owing money, even if I want to purchase a house, I will pay it full settlement, I don't like interests and debts, may also the same, anyway till date, I have no debts with me right now. I just think that how much ability you have equals to how much you will get. You won't get a million if you only know how to talk, you should dance to the music too, right?

Hi sjvf: I used to be always worried about the things I can't control and the result is always stress and feeling terrible. I've tried to deal with this feelings always focusing myself on the things I have control and to remember that a bad attitude don't help at all when you don't have the things you want.

This is difficult for me surrender easily all time but when issues related to my husband then I surrender easily. Ohhh you are right most of the people think they should be rich but they not see the people who are poor. People not happy which they get and always think about which they have not.

Surrender? No way!!! Don't you know who I am? I'll fight till the end.
But seriously, it's just part of the trials that we have to go through in our lives. I'm sure he will get through this difficult times if he knows how to tackle it the right way.
