To awaken each morning with a smile brightening my face
To greet the day with reverence for the opportunities it contains
To approach my work with a clean mind
To hold ever before me, even in the doing of little things, the Ultimate Purpose toward which I am working
To meet men and women with laughter on my lips and love in my heart
To be gentle, kind, and courteous through all the hours
To approach the night with weariness that ever woos sleep and the joy that comes from work well done
-- this is how I desire to waste wisely my days
