How to use whine in a sentence?
My goal today was to be my best self ever and I succeeded. I mean, we can whine about the miscommunication for a long time, but I could have won gold here in this form. I did very well, yeah, I ’m really proud of it. I mean, it’s a silver medal, but it does have a bit of a shine to it. And it’s also my first medal, is n’t it ? I do have an Olympic medal. A lot of people would kill for that.
You can be happy all the time, If you learn to smile and not whine, Not jumping from the future to the past, Be in the NOW and make happiness last.
Realize that if you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.
