The Story
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and
remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truths quietly and clearly; and
listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant;
they too have their stories. Avoid loud and
aggressive persons; they are vexations 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.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career. How ever humble,
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes
of time. Exercise caution in business affairs,
for 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 there is heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of
all acidity and disenchantment, it is as perennial
as the grass.Take kindly the council of years, gracefully
surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength 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 discipline, be gentle with yourself. You
are a child of the universe no less than the trees and
the stars; you have a right to 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 conceive him to be. And whatever
your 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 cheerful. Strive to be happy.
