DESIDERERATA

go placidly amid the noise and the haste,and remember what peace there maybe in silence as far as possible.

Without surrender be on goodterms with all persons,Speak your truth quietly and clearly;and listen to others even to the dull and ignorant;they too have thier history.

Avoid loud and agressive persons;they are vexatious to the spirit.If you compare yourself to others,you may become vain or bitter,for always there will be greater and lessr person than yourself.Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.Keep interested in your own carrer however humble;it is a real possesion in the changing fortunes of times.Exercise caution in your bussiness affairs,for the the world is full of trickery.But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;many persons strive for high ideals,and everywhere life is full of heroism.Be yourself Especially do not foign affection.Niether be cynical about love;for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,it is asperennial as the grass.Take kindly the counsel of the years,gracefully surrendering the things of youth.Nurture strenght of spirit of shield you in sudden misfortune.But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.Beyond a wholesome discipline,be gentle with yourself.You are the child of the universe no less than the tress and the stars;you have a right be 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 concieve him to be.And whatever you labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life,keep peace in your soul.With all its sham,drudgery and broken dreams,it is still a beautiful world.Be careful.Strive to be happy.
