"It's not Easy"

TO APOLOGIZE,

when you have hurt another person;

TO ADMIT ERROR,

when your reputation for honesty;

TO BE UNSELFISH,

when a little extra grab might enrich you;

TO BE CONSIDERATE,

when people get your nerves;

TO REMAIN HUMBLE,

when achievement tempts you to boast;

TO KEEP TRYING,

when many failures have tested your patience,

TO MAINTAIN COMPOSURE,

when temper is up;

TO FOLLOW HEAVEN'S PATH,

when others take shortcut;

but everyone will find that your adherence

to good character pay in the end...
