Just for today...
I will live through the next twelve hours
and try not to tackle all of 
life's problems at once. 
I will learn something useful. 
I will learn something
that requires effort, thought
and concentration. 
I will be agreeable. 
I will look my best,
be courteous
and considerate. 
I will not find fault with friend, 
relative or colleague. 
I will not try to change anyone
but myself. 
I will have a program.
I might not follow it e xactly, 
but I will have it. 
It will save myself from two enemies
- hurry and indecision. 
I will believe in myself. 
I will give my best to the world,
and feel confident that the world
will give its best to me.
