Geplaatst 
na herhaaldelijk gezeur van mijn mama's kant 
Dit kon ik jullie niet ontnemen:
If....
If you can start the day without caffeïne,
If you can get going without pep pills,
If you can always be cheerful,
ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining,
and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food everyday
and be grateful for it
If you can understand when your loved ones
are too busy to give you any time,
If you can overlook it when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame
without resentment,
If you can ignore a friend's limited education
and never correct him,
If you can resist treating a rich friend
better than a poor friend,
If you can face the world
without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
If you can say honestly that deep in your heart you heve no prejudice against creed, color, religion or politics,
Then my friend, you are *almost* as good as my horse!
Leuk he
