Steps to Happiness

Guidance for Reciting

Birds don't swim. Pigs don't climb trees. And crabs don't fly. Enjoy your own natural abilities and develop your own style. Make the most of your assets and it will make the most of your life.

You have to find out who you are,and be that.

You have to decide what comes first,and do that.

You have to discover your strengths,and use them.

You have to learn not to compete with others,

Because no one else is in the contest of“being you”.

You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.

You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.

You will have learned to live with your limitations.

You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due.

And you'll be a most vital mortal.

Dare To Believe:

That you are a wonderful,unique person;

That you are a once-in-all-history event;

That it's more than a right,it's your duty,to be whom you are;

That life is not a problem to solve,but a gift to cherish;

And you'll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.
