Desiderata
by
Max Ehrmann
Go
placidly 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 too have their story.
Avoid
loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit.
If
you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;
for
always there will be 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 life is full of heroism.
Be
yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither
be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity
and
disenchantment it is perennial as the grass
Take
kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully
surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture
strength of spirit to 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 and aspirations,
in
the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul.
With
all its shams, drudgery,
and
broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be
cheerful.
Strive
to be happy.
Max
Ehrmann, 1927
