When I was a kid my parents sent me to a summer camp in New Hampshire.__36__At the camp we did tons of great things like swimming, sports, and archery, but for me, the most memorable experience was an overnight trip of mountain climbing.If you’ve ever hiked a mountain, you know it’s a physical challenge, especially when you’re carrying your food and shelter on your back.__37__
“How much farther is it?”
“My pack is too heavy.Can you carry it for me?”
The reply of the teachers was, “Suck it up.” The truth is, the complaining campers were nowhere near the point of exhaus38__Once they realized they weren’t getting any sympathy they overcame the discomfort, and in most cases ended up having a great time.
__39__You can complain, or you can make the best of it.If you complain, you might feel like you’re getting the negative energy out, but you’re probably not going to cause a positive change.It’s much more likely that your complaining will arouse the dislike of those around you.
