It Is Not Easy

                                                    To apologize,

                                                    To begin over,

                                                    To be unselfish,

                                                    To take advice,

                                                    To admit error,

                                                    To face a sneer,

                                                    To be charitable,

                                                    To keep on trying,

                                                    To avoid mistakes,

                                                    To endure success,

                                                    To profit by mistakes,

                                                    To forgive and forget,

                                                    To think and the act,

                                                    To keep out of the rut,

                                                    To make the best of little,

                                                    To subdue an unruly temper,

                                                    To maintain a high standard,

                                                    To shoulder a deserved blame,

                                                    To recognize the silver lining,

                                                     BUT IT ALWAYS PAYS.
