Man's best friend
IF:
...you can start the day without caffeine,
...you and get going without pep pills,
...you can always be cheerful ignoring aches and pains,
...you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
...can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
...can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
...can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when, through no fault of your own,
IF YOU:
...can take criticism and blame without resentment,
...can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him,
...can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
...can face the world without lies and deceit,
...can conquer tension without medical help,
...can relax without liquor,
...can sleep without the aid of drugs,
...can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion or politics,
Then, my friend, you almost as good as your dog.
