GO PLACIDLY AMID THE NOISE AND HASTE
Remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth neatly and quietly and clearly and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant, they have their own story too. 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 or lesser person than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interest in your own career however be humble. It is a real possessions 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. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginations. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness beyond a wholesome discipline. Be gentle and be yourself. You are a child of the universe as unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, what ever you conceive him to be and whatever your dreams and aspirations be. 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 careful; strive to be happy.
