* If you can start the day without caffeine,
* If you can get going without pep pills,
* 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 something goes wrong
through no fault of yours and those you love take it out on you,
* 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 friends, you are almost as good as your dog.
