| If you can...
- 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 overlook it when those you love take it out on you when through no fault of yours 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 say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion, or politics;
- THEN, MY FRIEND, YOU ARE ALMOST AS GOOD AS YOUR DOG!
