if you can... well ^^

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 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 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 conquer tension without medical help,

If you can relax without liquor,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

...Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!

The first time I read about this was the Chinese version in DUZHE. It was said that this “IF YOU CAN” was from Ronald Reagan (the 40^th president of the United States). Well, the last sentence wasn’t something I had actually expected, however, the moment I reached it, the sense of humor as well as the neglected fact it conferred really touched the bottom of my heart. All dogs in the world own those merits, which seem to be impossible for human being to access. If one of us can access most of such virtue, he’s already been the perfect man in the world, under no shadow of double. Well, as for a little trick to assess my true merit, here comes my self-evaluation. ^^

If you can start the day without caffeine, (Some times, but not much~ at least in a healthy way ^^ )

If you can get going without pep pills, (The only things concerned my friends is that no matter how badly I were ill, I just refuse to take pills~ I hate that! ^^ )

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, (I am! But other always consider my cheer as sign of immature >_<)

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles, (That’s why I’d like faking myself. Once again, point taking ^^)

If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it, (> <>

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time, (Well, it seems I have to work on it > <)

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment (Hah, it depends on how the criticism and blame come~)

If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him, (No, I just can’t help doing it > <)

If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend, (I treat them only in respond to the way how they treat me)

If you can conquer tension without medical help, (Sure! I have to, you know, the medical help cost too much in China… )

If you can relax without liquor, (I don’t like liquor, though I’m good at it ^^)

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs, (Drugs are expensive too. If I depended on it, I was already bankrupt. > <)
