Be by Anne Landers (8)
KHD100: Be understanding to your enemies
Be loyal to your friends
Be strong enough to face the world each day
Be weak enough to know that you cannot do everything alone
Be generous to those who need your help
Be frugal with what you need yourself
Be wise enough to know that you do not know everything
Be foolish enough to believe in miracles
Be willing to share your joys
Be willing to share the sorrows of others
Be a leader when you see a path others have missed
Be a follower when you are shrouded by the mists of uncertainty
Be the first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds
Be the last to criticize a colleague who fails
Be sure where your next step will fall so that you will not
stumble.
Be sure of your final destination in case you are going the
wrong way.
Be loving to those who love you
Be loving to those who do not love you
and they may change
Above all be yourself.

When you get what you want in your struggle for self,
and the world makes you king for a day,
just go to a mirror and look at yourself,
and see what that man has to say.
For it isn't your father or mother or wife,
whose judgement upon you must pass,
the fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people might think you're a straight shootin' chum,
and call you a wonderful guy
but the man in the glass says you're only a bum,
if you can't look him straight in the eye
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,
for he's with you straight up to the end.
And you've passed your most dangerous difficult test,
if the guy in the glass is you friend.
You may fool the whole world
down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
if you cheated the man in the glass.

wonder if the ex would appreciate this? Doubt itThey will only see it if they want to.
KHD100: They will only see it if they want to.
Oh, don't I know it...doesn't matter for me anymore, so past it; I just hurt for my kids you know, but not like I used to.
