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 with work well done---
