Go placidly among the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, keep on good terms with everyone. 
Speak your truth with clarity, calm and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons they are vexatious to the spirit. If you insist on making comparisons with other risks of becoming arrogant and bitter, for always there will be the best and worst of you. 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, because the world is full of deceit. But 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, because, even in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is 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. Apart of a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars, and you have every right to exist. 
And, believe or not believe that you will be, there is no doubt that the universe is evolving as expected. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your spirit. Despite his delusions, sufferings and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be careful. Strive to be happy.
