Good, better, best. Never let it rest until your good is better and your better is best.

Arse End of the Universe, Cumbria

I read the Desiderata every single day and have done for about the last 20 years at least....I have a copy of pinned next to my computer at work and it's on both my laptops.....I don't pretend to be able to follow all of it, but I do try to mostly live by its ideas, it's a shame we can't highlight on here cos I'd highlight the bits I'm working on

....here it is, in my mind it is the most beautiful piece of text ever written

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.

But let 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 critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as 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 imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,

and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann 1927

Great point and worth bearing in mind - OH uses the phrase "act in haste and repent at leisure" ...similary sort of thing.

Blonde Caz you are so right about Desiderata. The one l have on my wall was given to me by my Dad about a month before he died and l am sure it was his way of saying 'chris l can't be with you but my spirit and these words can be with you forever'.
