Came across this today in a book I'm reading. Appreciated it.

IF-

"If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master,
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!"

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)
 
I could use some positive philosophy. I think the holidays are getting to me.
I was so depressed yesterday that I called a Suicide Hotline.
Had to "press 1" for English and got transferred to a call center in Pakistan. I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited and asked me if I could drive a truck and yell "allah akbar".
Not helpful.







< not seriously of course, I'm joking >
 
Destroid uses some of these words in the following song.

Lyrics:
Do not make dreams your master
Don't make thoughts your aim
