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. Listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant 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 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 with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
Ženk ramiai tarp triukšmo ir skubėjimo – atmink, kokia palaimą gali rasti tyloje. Neatsisakydamas savęs, visada, kai tik įmanoma, gerai elkis su kitais žmonėmis. Savo tiesą dėstyk aiškiai ir ramiai. Išklausyk kitų, juk net kvailys ir netikėlis turi savo istoriją. Jeigu bandysi lygintis su kitais, gali pasijusti tuščias, apkars ir gyvenimas, nes visada surasi geresnių bei blogesnių už save.Tegul tavo laimėjimai ir planai bus Tavo džiaugsmo šaltinis. Savo darbą, kad ir koks jis būtų kuklus, atlik iš širdies: jis yra tikra vertybė kintančiuose likimo vingiuose. Būk atsargus įgyvendindamas savo sumanymus – pasaulis pilnas apgavystės, bet suvok tikrų dorybių prasmę. Daugybė žmonių siekia dorų idealų, visur gyvenime rasi daug heroizmo. Būk savimi, nesistenk nugalėti jausmų, nebūk ciniškas meilės reikaluose, nes pasaulyje, kupiname nejautrumo ir nusivylimo, ji yra amžina kaip žolė.Ramiai be nusivylimo, priimk metų naštą, be skausmo ir širdgėlos atsisveikink su jaunyste.Ugdyk sielos tvirtybę, kuri skaudžioje nelaimėje galėtų apginti ir taptų tavo skydu. Nesikankink dėl vaizduotės kūrinių. Didelė baimė ir nerimas dažniausiai kyla iš nuovargio bei vienatvės. Laikykis sveikos disciplinos, bet būk sau švelnus.Esi visatos vaikas, kaip medžiai ir žvaigždės. Turi teisę čia būti. Ar Tau aišku, ar ne, neabejok, kad visata yra tokia, kokia turi būti. Savo troškimuose ir darbuose būk taikoje su Dievu.Ir triukšme, ir gyvenimo sūkury išlaikyk pusiausvyrą. Būdamas apgaulingas, nuobodus su savo neišsipildžiusiomis ir išsisklaidžiusiomis svajonėmis, žinok – pasaulis puikus. Būk atidus. Stenkis būti laimingas.
A Smile Costs Nothing, but gives much.
It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give.
It takes but a moment but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich and mighty that he can get along without it,
and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it.
A Smile creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in business,
and is the countersign of friendship.
A smile brings rest to the weary,
cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,
and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen,
for it is something that is of no value to anyone
until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile,
Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much
as he who has no more to give.
