Make a difference, teach your children well

a code that you can live

Remember The Desiderata?
Written by Max Ehrman in 1927
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
to 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 or 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's
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 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 dark 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 in your soul.
With
all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be
cheerful. Strive to be happy.
