Know that it will offer your trials as well as

treasures, tears as well as triumphs. Walk

down life’s winding pathways with courage and
humor and hope, savoring fully your
achievements and learning from your defeats.

Speak kindly of others… and think kindly of

yourself. Be forgiving, no less of your mistakes
than others. Learn to laugh… learn to listen.
Aspire not to an unreachable perfection, nor
merely to gain approval in the eyes of your
friends.

Strive instead to live to the best of your ability

by those personal standards of honor and
excellence which only you can set. Cherish
above all, your individuality. Glory in those
special qualities of mind and spirit that makes
you uniquely you.

Realize always that you are cable of reaching

difficult goals and exceeding them, of dreaming
wonderful dreams and making them come true,
of achieving the only kind of success that really
matters; that of being at peace with yourself
and with the world around you.

Now your moment has come…

That world waits…
