DESIDERATA Go placidly amid the noise and the haste . and remember what peace there may be in the silence . As far possible , without surrender , be on good terms with all person. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others. even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggessive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Keep interested in your own career, hoowever humble; it is a real possesion in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your busines affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is . many person strive for high ideals. and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself .Especially do not feign affection . Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment , it is as perenial as the grass. Take kindlythe cousel of the years. gracefully surrendering the thing of youth . Nurtere stregth of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imagining . Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome disciplene, be genthe with yourself . You are a child of the universe no less then the trees and the stars ; you have a rigth here . And whether or not it is clear to you , no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God , whatever you conccive Him to be. And whatever you labors and aspirations , in the noisy confusion of life , Keep peace in your soul. Whit all its sham , drudgery , and broken dreams , it is STILL a beautiful world . BE CHERRERFUL.STRIVE TO BE HAPPY. :) :) :)
