John D. Bransford and Barry S. Stein: "It is not uncommon to find oneself thinking such thoughts as "I can't stand this" or "If only I didn't have to do this." As the psychologist Albert Ellis notes, such thoughts frequently involve whining. In essence, we are acting like babies and whining about things "not being fair." One can continue to do this if one choose, say Ellis. However, it is usually more efficient to simply accept the fact that life is not always a bowl of cherries, stop whining, and get on with the task."
