If you can start the day without caffeine,

If you can get going without pep pills,

If you can always 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 your loved  ones are too busy to give you any time,

If you can take criticism and  blame without resentment

If you can ignore a friend's limited  education and never correct him,

If you can resist treating a rich friend  better than a poor friend,

If you can conquer tension  without medical help,

If you can relax without liquor, 

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

...Then You Are Probably  The Family Dog!
