Spot On !
If you can start your day without caffeine, If you can get along without pep pills,
If you can always be cheerful ignoring aches & 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 your friends for their 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 face friend’s limited education and never correct him,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit, If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without alcohol, 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 colour, religion or politics,
Then my friend you’re as good as .... as your dog !
