A poem for you all --- stressed by exams

edward

Before we all get too stressed by revision for the exams, thought I'd take this opportunity to share a poem with you. Robert Louis Stephenson wrote it over 150 years ago and I find it still has meaning - maybe those bastards at Enron would have done well to have c##被过滤##idered it's precepts "To have lived well, laughed often and loved much; To have gained the respect of intelligent man and the love of children; To have filled a niche and accomplished a task; To have left the world better by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; To have appreciated earth's beauty and not failed to express it; To have looked for the best in others; And to have given the best of yourself; That is achievement."

“To have looked for the best in others; And to have given the best of yourself". It's so difficult to acheive that I have to keep looking for the better in others and trying to give the better of myself.
