Here is something that was giving to me several years ago and I keep on my desk for the times that people or situations start to get to me I read this and it puts things in a different perspective. I thought I would share with all of my friends here on GR I do not know who the author is but that does not matter, please enjoy.

Thanks

IF……

“If you can start the day without caffeine. If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles, If you can eat the same food every day and 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, though no fault of yours, something goes wrong, If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend, If you can face the world without lies and deceit, If you can say honestly that, deep in your heart, you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion or politics, If you can give love unconditionally without pressure or expectation, Then my friend you are ALMOST as good as your dog.”
