A Nugget

If you can start the day without caffeine; 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 every day, and seem happy about it; if you 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 ignore a friends limited education and never correct him, if you can conquer stress without medical help--then you're probably the family dog.
