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. Spaek your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to
others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid
loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you
compare yourself with others, you may become vein and bitter; for always
there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your
achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your career,
however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of
time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full
of trickers. 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, espically do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about
love; for in the face of aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as
the grass. Take kindly the course 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 imaginings. 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. Therefore, be at peace with
God, whatever you conceive him to be, and whatever your labors and
aspiration, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all of it's shame, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a
beautiful world. Be careful, strive to be happy.
