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.
(**this
is my dog!! :)**)
