**DESIDERATA**

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be in good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant, they to have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirits. 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 achievementsas well as your plans. Keep interested in your career, however humble, it is a real possesion in a changing fortune of time.
Exercise caution on your business affairs, for the world isfull of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is, many persons strive for high ideas, 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 surrending the things of youth. Nurture strenght of spirit to shield you in the 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 the right to be there. 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 sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.
