• If you can start the day without caffeine …

  • 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 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.
