"The Desiderata
(something desired as essential)
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 truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story…
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble,
it's a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution… 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 life is
Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to 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…
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should…
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a
beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy."
~Max Ehrmann, 1927
