Are You As Good A Person As Your Dog?

Well ...
If
  you can start the day without coffee and keep going cheerfully all day long,
If
  you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If
  you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If
  you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If
  you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If
  you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If
  you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him,
If
  you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
If
  you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If
  you can conquer tension without medical help,
If
  you can relax without liquor,
If
  you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
If
  you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion, or politics,
     
Then
  my friend, you are almost as good as your dog!
