If You Can............

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 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 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 conquer tension without medical help
If you can relax without liquor
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs

Then you are probably the family dog.
