Go placidly amid the noise& 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 & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they to have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they ate vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain& bitter; for allways there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievents as well as your plans. Keep interestd 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. Butlet this not blind you to what virtue there is; many people strive for high ideals; and everywher life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantmemt it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spiritto shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with 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 labors& aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery& broken dreams, it is still a beautifull world. Be carefull. Strive to be happy............
