Randy described two scenarios of people who were either a "non-whiner" or a "non-complainer" and that he looked up to them for that.

Non-whiner"

I met Sandy when he was in his thirties, and he just wowed me with his attitude. He had this incredible non-whining aura about him. He had worked hard and become a licensed marriage counselor. He got married and adopted children. And when he talked about his medical issues, he did so matter-offactly. He once explained to me that temperature changes were hard on quadriplegics because they can’t shiver. “Pass me that blanket, will you, Randy?” he’d say. And that was it.

Non-complainer:

My favorite non-complainer of all time may be Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play Major League
Baseball. He endured racism that many young people today couldn’t even fathom. He knew he had to play better than the white guys, and he knew he had to work harder. So that’s what he did. He vowed not to complain, even if fans spit on him.
