If you can start the day without caffeine,// If you can get going without pep pills,// 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 everyday 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, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,// If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,// If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him,// 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 conquer tension without medical help,// If you can relax without liquor,// If you can sleep without the aid of drugs...Then you are likely the family dog!
