美联英语提供： 停止抱怨！人生开启新的一页 两分钟做个小测试，看看你的英语水平/test/xingzuo.html?tid=16-73675-0 From August 1st to August 15th I fasted from complaining. Yes, thats right. No more Im tired grumbles at 3 p.m. at the office. No more yelling at cars that cut me off on 440. No more snapping at people for not listening. The highlight of the two week period? I validated that Im not a terrible, negative person, AND optimistic people tend to live longer according to some studies.

I argued less. 2、我吵架的频率变少了。 Im not exactly one to pick a fight, but I noticed how many stupid arguments I can have in a week. If my fiancé Alex said something I disagreed with, I couldnt immediately react. This helped me not snap -- and more importantly it made me think before anything came out of my mouth. Im pretty sure weve been told since kindergarten, Think before you speak but I noted how often I neglect thi
