DESIDERATE
Listen then to the wisdom of the wise:“Walk peacefully between noise and haste,and remember that peace can be found in silence.Maintain good relations with everyone as long as possible, but without compromising.Tell your truth calmly and clearly;And listen to others,even the clumsy and the ignorant.They also have their history.Avoid loud and aggressive people,They are vexations for the spirit.If you compare yourself with others,you can become vain and bitterbecause there will always be people bigger or smaller than you.Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.Get interested in your own career,however humble;It is a real treasure in the changing visicitudes of time.Be cautious in your business,Because the world is full of deception.But not for this you blind yourself to the virtue that you can find;many people fight for high idealsand everywhere life is full of heroism.Be yourself.Especially do not pretend affections.Don't be cynical about love either,because in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,Love is as perennial as grass.Accept the advice of the years with love,renouncing with elegance the things of youth.Nourish the strength of your spirit to protect you in the unexpected misfortune,But don't worry about fantasies.Many fears are born from the fatigue and the loneliness.Beyond a healthy discipline,Be kind to yourself.You are a creature of the universe,like trees and stars;You have the right to be here.And, whether it is obvious or not,no doubt the universe unfolds as it should.Therefore, stay at peace with God,any way you conceive Him,and whatever your jobs and aspirations,stay at peace with your soulIn the noisy confusion of life.Even with all his farces, burdens and broken dreams,This is still a beautiful world.Be careful and strive to be happy. ”
