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 take criticism and blame without resentment, if you can treat a rich friend the same as a poor one.
If you can conquer tension without medical help and relax without cigarettes or liquor and sleep without the aid of drugs..
...................then you are probably the family dog.
