DESIDERATA by Max Ehrmann

[black sky]

During dark times, I think of this poem. It inspires me.

Naa puy kanta ani. Gi-himo na gani sa RJ 100.3 ug national anthem. Hehe, they play it around 5pm.

this is my favorite line on this poem

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

nakabasa ko before nga this poem kuno was not actually written by max ehrmann... i dunno if that's true.

my fave part

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
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.

I love the last three stanzas. One of my favorite prose poems (hehehe... if there's such a thing).
