Desiderata 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 dearly; and listen to others, even the dull and 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 as perennial as the grass. - Take kindly the course of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield yourself 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 ts unfolding... . as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be, and . . Ss . . . . whatever your labors and apprehensions; in the noisy confusion of life, keep at peace with your soul. ° With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. MAX EHRMANN : © 1927 by Max Ehrmann All rights reserved. Copyright renewed 1954 by Bertha K. Ehrmann Reprinted by permission Robert L. Bell, Melrose, Mass., 02176 é
