Assignment：Should we complain to get what we want？

　　這次亞太地區的這個作文題目，乍看之下，這個complain好似無從下手。但是其實這個題目并沒有逃出我們通常準備例子來寫作的套路。不難聯想到，我們準備的例子中這些遭遇苦難或者遇到挫折和困難，但是堅持了下來的這些人，不少都可以說他們在困難面前，并沒有怨天尤人，而是迎難而上采取行動，最后通過這樣的行為獲得了成功。所以我們可以由這樣的例子得出自己的觀點，即抱怨并不能解決問題，要想獲得我們所追求的東西，就應該不怨天尤人而是采取行動。按照這樣的邏輯行文，這個題目難度不大。

　　Sometimes, a simple solution happens to be the most effective one, so that people tend to simulate the childrens trick of making noises in order to make their needs and desires heard and satisfied. However, as to significant conditions, advertising and complaining about ones demands do not work since few people are willing to compromise their interests to meet these demands, and even if they are, the demands can hardly be fully gratified.

　　Complaint does not work when there is a genuine difference of interests between two parties. Jack Welch， the former CEO of General Electric, revitalized the company by taking actual actions instead of complaining about the hideous situation. Before Welch took office, bureaucracy dominated the company and senior officials took complete control of everything; the management hierarchy was divided into nine levels, seriously delaying the carrying out of decision. Deeply realizing the defects in management, Welch determined to eliminate inefficiency by decentralizing power and dismissing workers. However, he didnt complain about the declining trend or explain his strategy to other managers, thinking they wouldnt possibly support him since their interests would be sacrificed. Instead, he resolutely carried out his plan: he made sure that every employee had a voice to enhance their enthusiasm; besides, the hierarchy was reduced to four levels, which resulted in a quick response to the market. While Welch inevitably encountered objection and criticism during the process, he focused on his actual actions instead of empty words. Eventually, GE had gone from a market value of $14 billion to one of more than$ 410 billion at the end of Welchs tenure. If Welch had complained to other managers, he might have not only provoked more objection to his proposal, but diminished his resolution as well. By keeping relatively quiet, he made time to concentrate on his actions and delicately put his plan into practice, thus reviving the company from the verge of bankruptcy.

　　Even though some people do want to answer our voice and meet our needs, they cannot truly disperse the dark cloud in our heart. Nicholas Vujicic transcended his disability through his own endeavor. Born without all four limbs, he was often derided as trash and a liability for his family, which condemned Vujicic to depression and pessimism. He whined about how God had discarded him and how gloomy his future was. Although his parents had strived to meet his demands, they could hardly cure his pain psychologically. A turning point came when he saw a newspaper article about a man dealing with his severe disability. Vujicic was touched and started to embrace and surpass his disability. He actively participated in sports and managed to take care of his daily activities such as brushing teeth and picking up phone all by himself. Then, he shared his stories by delivering speeches to inspire people with similar misfortune. In his relentless efforts, he found the meaning of life and eventually transcended his disability both physically and psychologically. Despite his parents empathetic attempt of gratifying Vujicics desires, they still failed to appease his discontent and hollowness inside. It is after Vujicic put away his whining that he started to confront his adversity and spare no efforts to surpass it.

　　In conclusion, complaint is not an advisable solution to solve problems or get what we want in some significant situations. Whether you are a leader in a particular field or a common person in everyday life, you had better take actual measures to realize your objectives instead of taking advantage of others sympathy by complaining.
