The Man In The Glass by Appswheel(m): 1:25am On Jan 09, 2014 |
When you get what you want in your struggle for self And the world makes you king for a day, Just go to the mirror and look at yourself And see what that man has to say. For it isn’t your father or mother or wife Whose judgment upon you must pass. The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass. You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum And think you’re a wonderful guy. But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum If you can’t look him straight in the eye. He’s the fellow to please—never mind all the rest, For he’s with you clear to the end. And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test If the man in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years And get pats on the back as you pass. But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you’ve cheated the man in the glass. —author unknown source http://neeksta.com 1 Like |

Inspiring quote. It's worrisome how annoying we can get - if we're not appreciating ourselves well enough. Or not giving ourselves what we need, to do more - whether that means proper healthcare, trying out new things or treating ourselves to better meals. 1 Like |
