And value those as friends who feel the same,
If you take pride in things that you've accomplishes
And when you're wrong, stand up and take the blame....
If you can understand your limitations
And not waste time on tasks beyond your scope,
But take the future as a brand-new challenge
That you can meet with confidence and hope...
If you can listen to those who would advise you
and hten judge for yourself just what is right,
If you can keep in touch with all about you
And settle differences without a fight...
If you can find delight in simple pleasures
And see the rainbow,not the falling rain,
If you can lose and never give up trying,
Believing that there's nothing done in vain...
If you can firmly stand by your convictions
And not let others set your goals for you,
If you can be as practical as needed
And still remember sometimes dreams come true...
If you can live the life that you believe in
And trust your judgment and maturity,
Then you'll be happy and successful
And the worthwhile person you are meant to be.
