I first read this in the Dale Carnegie Book "How to Win Friends And Influence People" about 20 years ago:
"I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes -- until I met a man who had no feet." This is actually a Jewish proverb.
We all have problems related to our families and careers and must cope with them daily. Today I spoke to a former colleague who has really fallen on some very hard times. He started to work at my library in 1996 and left after 6 years because he was so unhappy. I helped him find a job closer to his home in Nassau County. He was so happy there at first, but had to confront a bad situation that went from worse to impossible.
I only wish the best for him.
If you have problems, just think that someone else's difficulties may be worse.
