CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“To Laugh Often & Much” by Ralph Waldo Emerson

To laugh often and much;


to win the respect of the intelligent people


and the affection of children;


to earn the appreciation of honest critics


and endure the betrayal of false friends;


to appreciate beauty;


to find the best in others; 


to leave the world a bit better


whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch,

or a redeemed social condition;


to know that one life has breathed easier 


because you lived here.


This is to have succeeded.

 

MOLESKIN:

This poem was read at my aunt’s funeral yesterday by her sisters. As I was listening to it, I immediately thought of F3 and its mission. Taking the Daily Red Pill of F3 is something that connects with this poem. Realizing that it is not recognized at work, or accolades in other places, but it is finding the best in others, it is leaving the world a little bit better, and all the other things that this poem mentions.
