I love Neruda, specially "No culpes a nadie". It helped me a lot to stop complaining. C&P a possibly wrong translation

        ## Don't Blame Anyone

        Never complain about anyone, nor anything,
	because basically you have done
	what you wanted in your life.

        Accept the difficulty of improving yourself
	and the courage to start changing yourself.
	The triumph of the true man emerges from
	the ashes of his mistake.

        Never complain about your loneliness or your
	luck, face it with courage and accept it.
	In one way or another it is the outcome of
	your acts and the thought that you always
	have to win.

        Don't be embittered by your own failure or
	blame it on another, accept yourself now or
	you'll keep making excuses for yourself like a child.
	Remember that any time is
	a good time to begin and that nobody
	is so horrible that they should give up.

        Don't forget that the cause of your present
	is your past, as well as the cause of your
	future will be your present.

        Learn from the bold, the strong,
	those who don't accept situations, who
	will live in spite of everything. Think less in
	your problems and more in your work and
	your problems, without eliminating them, will die.

        Learn how to grow from the pain and to be
	greater than the greatest of those
	obstacles. Look at yourself in the mirror
	and you will be free and strong and you will stop
	being a puppet of circumstances because you
	yourself are your own destiny.

        Arise and look at the sun in the mornings
	and breathe the light of the dawn.
	You are part of the force of your life;
	now wake up, fight, get going, be decisive
	and you will triumph in life. Never think about
	luck because luck is
	the pretext of losers.


This poem (and the original spanish) is one of my favourites! Thank you for posting.
