If you can start
the day without caffeine;
If you can get
going without pep pills;
If you can always
be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains;
If you can resist
complaining and boring people with your troubles;
If you can eat the
same food every day and be grateful for it;
If you can
understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time;
If you can forgive
a friend's lack of consideration;
If you can overlook
it when those you love take it out on you when, through no fault of your own,
something goes wrong;
If you can take
criticism and blame without resentment;
If you can ignore a
friend's limited education and never correct him;
If you can resist
treating a rich friend better than a poor friend;
If you can face the
world without lies and deceit;
If you can conquer
tension without medical help;
If you can relax
without liquor;
If you can sleep
without the aid of drugs;
If you can honestly
say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed or color,
religion or politics; then, my friend,
You Are Almost As Good As Your Dog'.
