Elif statement always responding with if

Example

Good=1
Bad=2
print("How was your day?")
input()
if Good:
    Print("That's nice.")
elif Bad: 
       Print("That's unfortunate")

For some reason this program always respond with "That's nice." even when I say bad.

You didn't assign the input value to a variable.Try the following code: 

Good = 1
Bad = 2
print('How was your day?')
inputVal = int(input())
if inputVal == Good:
    print("That's nice.")
elif inputVal == Bad:
    print("That's unfortunate")

Input:1
Output:That's nice.
Input:2
Output:That's unfortunate

if Good is always True, you have to assign input to a variable and then compare:

inp = input()
if inp == Good:
    ...

You aquired the input value, but did not assign it to a variable.

You should introduce a new variable (let's call it answer):

good=1
bad=2
print("How was your day?")
answer = input()  ## <-- changed
if answer == good:  ## <-- changed
    print("That's nice.")
elif answer == bad:  ## <-- changed
    print("That's unfortunate")
