Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have there story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vesations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain & bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in you own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickory (lies). But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not fiegn (pretend) affection. Neither be cynical about; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.
take kindly the cousel of years, gracefull surrendering the things of youth.

I found this on a piece of paper. if there are parts you don't understand, that's ok. There's a couple of words I don't know either. whoever reads this let me know what words you don't know and I'll look them for the both us.

I'll try my best to translate, but like I said there are some words that I don't know, so be patient with me.
enjoy the quiet that you may find yourself in. In our world, we always need to listen to music, entertainment through tv, ipods, and I am as guilty as anyone else. even now as i am typing this i have the tv on with the news on.
this is easier said than done but, being on good terms with all person is what it says. in otherwords, treat everyone that comes across your path friendly calm. If you have something to say, be calm and quiet about it and keep your anger.
and if the other person seems stupid or ignorant, be patient with them and listen to them.
vexations to the spirit - I have no idea what that means, except that I think it means troubling, you know like a big hassle
if u compare urself to other people, it's either going to give you a big head or piss you off. the thing is, is that there is always going to be some people who will be better than you and you are going to be better than other people.
accept yourself as you are.

sorry i can't finish, I'm too sleepy for now and this is harder than I thought. It's hard enough to translate for me to understand

just be good to people, watch out for rip-offs, but don't see everyone as someone who is going to rip you off.


peace and guten nacht (that's german for good night)
