desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Can you believe I slept yesterday right after I ate dinner on the damn floor!! Not the floor really. I was not that sleepy to have slept on the cold hard floor. I have a mattress to sleep on, mind you. I just got a little bit comfortable on the floor.. mattress. And after sleeping for 3 damn hours... I woke up with a small stye located at my right eye! I hope it's not a stye... but it looks like one...and it definitely feels like one. I guess it is one. But I'm still hoping...

*****

Despite the stinging sensation everytime I blink or in other words, simply every single damn minute of the damn day due to the DAMN BLOODY STYE, I was feeling a little more optimistic towards this ordeal of mine. Ha! Good thing I was being attentive to my surroundings! Being attentive and observant does have its perks, doesn't it? We won't be 2 anymore in that Quizbee! It would now become 1 every level!

Oh joy!

Oh Happy Day!!

Im feeling a terrible headache will be coming soon. Stupid Stye...
