Desiderata...
This is This..
Go quietly 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.
Avoid loud and and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.If you compare yourself with others,you may
become bitter or vain,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,however humble;it is a real posession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your buisness 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 life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.Especially do not fiegn affection.
Niether 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 your 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. 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 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 labors and aspirations,in the noisy confusion of life,keep peace with your soul.
With all it's sham,drudgery and broken dreams,it is still a beautiful world.
Be careful.Strive to be happy.
