Difficult Things To Do

To break a bad habit,
To love an enemy,
To think logically,
To admit ignorance,
To withhold judgement,
To grow old gracefully,
To persevere without haste,
To wait without impatience,
To suffer without complaint,
To know when to keep silent,
To be indifferent to ridicule,
To concentrate in the midst of strife,
To endure hatred without resentment,
To fraternize without losing individuality,
To serve without compensation, commendation, recognition.
