Go
placidly in the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be
in silence.
Be
yourself, especially do not feign affection.
As
far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
`Neither
be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantmentit
is perennial as the grass.
Enjoy
your acheivements as well as your plans.
Nurture
strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
A
book of 'The Desiderata,' by Max Ehrmann. The writing deals with the ideals
or 'rules' for leading a full and happy life.
