At work today, there was a leak over my head, so I had to use someone else's computer to work. While I was in his office, I saw this interesting narrative on his wall. I liked it so much, I am going to post it on my blog. It is a good philosophy of life., in my opinion.
The Person in the Glass
When you get what you want in your struggle for self and the world makes you royalty for a day, JUST go to a mirror and look at yourself and see what THAT PERSON has to say.
For it isn't your father or mother or spouse whose judgement upon you must pass. The person whose verdict counts most in your life is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people may think you are a straight-shooting chum and call you a wonderful soul, but the person in the glass says you're only a bum, if you can't look them straight in the eye.
That's the person to please, never mind all the rest, for you are with you clear to the end. And you have passed your most difficult, dangerous test, if the person in the glass is your FRIEND.
You can fool the whole world down the pathway of life and get pats on your back as you pass, but your final reward will be heartaches and tears, if you cheat the PERSON in the the GLASS.

Bet you wouldn't see this at a mirror store; it might discourage customers.
