To apologize, when you have hurt
another person;
To admit error, when your reputation
for honesty is at stake;
To be unselfish, when a little extra
might enrich you;
To face a sneer, when the sneerer makes
you want to fight;
To be considerate, when people get on
your nerves;
To achive succes, and remain humble
when you are tempted to crow;
To keep trying, when many failures have
tested your patience;
To think a little more before you act,
when your temper is up;
To maintain a high standard of personal
living, when others take short cuts.
But...you'll find that all these things
pay... in the end.
