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 & cleary, and listen to others, even the dull
and ignorant, they too have their story.
Avoid loud & aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirt. 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 career, however humble, it is a real possession
in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business
faairs, for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is.
Many 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 cousnel of te 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.

You are a child of the universe, 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.
With all its sham, drugery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful
world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.
