If you have a problem with the way something works, you have a good chance to provide a solution on how to make it work. Many people have the habit of showing the negative side of things they don’t agree with but shouldn’t you only speak when you have a better solution to offer? Easier said than done right? While you might feel threatened by the last statement, complaining never solves a thing, all solutions were created by people with a deep purpose of making change, not by people sitting on the sidelines complaining about how it should be. Next time when you are planning on showing disapproval to someone or something, how about taking a step back to ask yourself this

Can I provide a better and more effective solution to this problem?

Am I capable of doing the same act as this person?
Do my critics serve as a contribution to making this better?

Or does my disapproval serve as a means to undervalue a generous contribution, a contribution I didn’t offer?

Being on the pessimistic side of things is okay but that shouldn’t be an excuse to convert an optimist to a pessimist. Your contribution is a generous contribution the world needs.
