NEW STANDARDS

Are you as good as you dog?

If you can start the day without caffeine,

If you can get going without pep pills,

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches & pains,

If you can resist complaining & boring people with your troubles,

If you can eat the same food every day & be grateful for it,

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,

If you can take criticism & blame without resentment,

If you can ignore a friend's limited education & never correct him,

If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,

If you can face the world without lies & deceit,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,

If you can relax without liquor,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

If you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion or politics.....

Then, my friend, you are almost as good as your dog.
