Les Crane - Desiderata poem by Max Ehrmann (1927)(Since High School, Desiderata has been my guiding principle in life. Thanks to the teacher who introduced this to my class. Thank you Sir R.B. (RIP)!
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
If you compare yourself with others,
***
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
***
Therefore be at peace with God, Be careful. Strive to be happy.
***
Guiding principles in Life by Wayne Isaacs
1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. 2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go. 3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. 4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. 5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. 6. Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. 7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. 8. Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too. 9. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may heal and bless. 10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. 11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying. |
