Go placidifly 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 the dull and the ignorant , they to have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are a vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others. you may become vain and bitter.
for always there will be a 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 possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business 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 is full of heroisim
Be Yourself, Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love.
for in the fall of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of years, gracefully surrendoring 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 it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be,
and whatever your labours and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
with all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world
Be cheerful Strive to be Happy
Written by Max Ehrmann in 1927
