Words to ponder
If you can start the day without caffeine, if you can get along without
pep pills, if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, if you
can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it, if you can
understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time, if you
can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when, though no fault
of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment, if you can ignore
a friend's limited education and never correct him/her, if you can resist
treating a rich friend better than a poor friend, If you can face the world
without lies and deceit, if you can conquer tension without medical help, if
you can relax without liquor, if you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
If you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice
against creed, color, religion or politics.
Then, my friend, you are ALMOST as good as your dog.
