Do you believe this Quote is accurate?

Question

If you can change it, then there's nothing to worry about." "If you Can't change it, then still, there's nothing to worry about."

Answer 1

Give me the courage to change the things I can, The serenity to accept those that I can't and the wisdom to know the difference

Answer 2

In my opinion this quote for me is like saying

"If you can change it, then there's nothing to worry about."
- Why spend your time and energy over something that you already know can be resolved. What will be the point in stressing yourself if your problem already has an answer.

"If you can't change it, then still, there's nothing to worry about"
- I think this part of the quote implies that, again why do you need to spend time and energy on something that you know there is definitely nothing you can do about. You will just be wasting energy in doing something that in the end will have no real positive result.

I agree to the first part of the quote, I mean if you have a problem and the answer is already in your hands then it's not a problem anymore. Rather than wasting time worrying over resolved issues you should take on your next step to deal with the unresolved ones.

Answer 3

No, because if you can't change it you will probably still worry about it.
People will always have something to worry about whether or not this quote exists.

Answer 4

Worrying solves nothing and gives us a multitude of medical problems. My father told me along time ago that why worry about something that may not happen anyway. If it does happen, then worrying is not going to solve it, we should then find solutions to the problems instead of wasting valuable energy worrying.

Answer 5

Yes I believe it's accurate.

Sometimes we have options -- we have the ability to change some things. Then, sometimes it's out of our control, it's out of our hands, it's no longer our problem, it's somebody else's headache, it wasn't meant to be. That could be a blessing, hence, nothing to worry about.

Answer 6

Well, yes, it is accurate. There is no point in worrying about anything because worrying doesn't accomplish anything. It merely drains energy and isn't constructive. So don't worry. Take constructive action if necessary, but don't worry.

Answer 7

I do believe the quote is quite accurate. I take it as, change is inevitable and there is nothing you can do about it, so don't fret it. Just accept it.

Answer 8

No. While most things that we worry about are simple things that we tend to make mountains out of molehills, there are some valid things to worry about, especially if we cannot change them.

Answer 9

Looks like a variant on an old classic:

There are only two things to worry about, either you're well or you're sick.
If you're well, then there's nothing to worry about.
But if you're sick, there are two things to worry about; either you'll get well or you'll die.
If you get well, there is nothing to worry about.
If you die, there are only two things to worry about.
Either you'll go to hell or go to heaven.
If you'll go to heaven, there's nothing to worry about.
But if you'll go to hell, you'll be so damn busy shaking hands
with friends, you won't have time to worry.

PS: Seems to be a pattern:

As a programmer there are only two things to worry about:
whether your code has bugs or is bug-free.

if your code is bug-free then there's nothing to worry about.
if your code has bugs then there's only two things to worry about:
whether you can fix the bugs or whether you can't.
if you can fix the bugs then you have nothing to worry about.
if you can't fix the bugs then you have only two things to worry about:
whether you can find someone else to fix the bugs or whether you can't.
if you can find someone else to fix the bugs then you have nothing to worry about.
if you can't find someone else to fix the bugs then you have only two things to worry about:
whether the bugs will get you fired or whether they won't.
if the bugs won't get you fired then you have nothing to worry about.
if the bugs do get you fired then you'll be so busy catching up with old friends at the unemployment office that you won't have time to worry.
so why worry?

Answer 10

i think worry comes from the unknow - not what's happening but what might happen.
we know we are broke, but we worry about the day the eviction notice comes, etc.
