Oldie but goodie!<\/p>\n
If you can start the day without caffeine,
\nIf you can get going without pep pills,
\nIf you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches & pains,
\nIf you can resist complaining & boring people with your troubles,
\nIf you can eat the same food every day & be grateful for it,
\nIf you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
\nIf you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
\nIf you can take criticism & blame without resentment,
\nIf you can ignore a friend’s limited education & never correct him,
\nIf you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
\nIf you can face the world without lies & deceit,
\nIf you can conquer tension without medical help,
\nIf you can relax without liquor,
\nIf you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
\nIf you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion or politics…..
\nThen, my friend, you are almost as good as your dog. <\/strong>
