If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and
pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring
people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and
be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved ones are
too busy to give you time,
If you can overlook when people take things
out on you when,
through no fault of yours, something
goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without
resentment,
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 do all these things….
Then you are probably a dog.
