And So Long As I Can Laugh,

Already, It Is Later Than You Think For Your Earthly Life At Best, Is Only A Blink Of An Eye Between Two Eternities.

Never Will I Pursue Happiness, Because It Is Not A Goal, Just A By-product, And There Is No Happiness In Having Or In Getting, Only In Giving.

Do That Which You Dread And Cherish Those Victories With Pride.

I Will Welcome Happiness For It Enlarges My Heart; Yet I Will Endure Sadness For It Opens My Soul. I Will Acknowledge Rewards For They Are My Due; Yet I Will Welcome Obstacles For They Are My Challenge.

Now I Know That Patience And Time Can Do More Than Even Strength And Passion. The Years Of Frustration Are Ready To Be Harvested. All That I Have Managed To Accomplish, And All That I Hope To Accomplish, Has Been And Will Be By That Plodding, Patient, Persevering Process Which Builds The Ant Heap, Particle By Particle, Thought By Thought, Step By Step.
