If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can get going without pep pills,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring
aches and pains,
If you can eat the same food everyday
and be grateful for it,
If you can understand why 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, through no fault of yours
something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame
without resentment,
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!
