When I was in first year college, I had a boyfriend who was 23 years older than me. He was a lawyer and at the same time an English Instructor in one of the colleges in Bohol. I met him because the director of the school where I was studying was his father; while, his mother was our guidance counselor and my professor as well.
I was 17 years old at that time and he was 40. So, he made the most of the adjustments in our relationship. I was spoiled by him and by his parents. He treated me like a child and his parents as well.
I was still young, so I was in the process of molding my attitude and behavior. I needed to be corrected and reminded with my words, actions or deeds once in a while. One time, my boyfriend got mad at me because I was very hard-headed. He didn't say anything to me but he handed me a paper that contained a poem entitled, "Desiderata". Along with the poem was a message that said, " Please read the poem and know or understand its meaning or message. This poem will serve as your guide." A minute later, I went inside my room and read the poem. I was inspired with the message of the poem. It gave me many lessons, strenght, courage and guidance.
A year later, I broke up with him because I focused more on my studies and in fulfilling my dreams & ambitions. Now, he's having his own family; but I still have a good relationship with his parents and siblings. Moreover, I still keep the poem he gave to me and I still use the poem as a guide in my journey of life.
So, I wanna share this poem to all of you. With a hope that this will also serve as your guide as you go on with your life.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Desiderata
-- written by Max Ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
