If You Can

• If you can take your troubles as they come,
• if you can maintain your calm and composure amid pressing duties and unending engagements,
• if you can rise above the distressing and disturbing circumstances in which you are set down,
• you have discovered a priceless secret of daily living.
• ... you have succeeded where most people have failed.
