He felt all this complaining was   38   everyone feel negative. So, he   39    to do something about it.
He gave the people in his church a(n)  40  : try to stop complaining for 21   41  .And not just about the church, about everything! He   42    gave each person in the church a purple bracelet(手镯) to wear on their wrists. The bracelet was to   43    them not to complain.  44   , after three weeks of not complaining, people said they felt happier. They  45    that the less they complained, the happier their lives became.
Complaining seems to be part of our human nature. Life,  46  , is full of difficulties. It is   47   to feel disappointed, irritated and unhappy at times. The real problem,  48  , comes when we take those negative inner feeelings and   49  them out loud. Somehow, it makes everything   50  .
