If nobody smiled and nobody cared, and nobody helped us along… If every moment looked after itself And good things all went to the strong… If nobody cared at all about you And nobody cared about me, And we stood alone in the battle of life, what a dreary old world this would be! Life is sweet because of the friends we have made And the things in common we share, We want to live on, not because of ourselves But because of the people who care. It is doing and giving for somebody else On which much of life’s splendor depends. The joy of this world, when you’ve summed it all up Is found in the making of friends!

‹ We shall do much in the years to come, but what have we done today? We shall give our gold in a princely sum, but what did we give today? We shall lift the heart and dry the tear, We shall plant a hope in the place of fear, We shall speak the words of love and cheer but what did we speak today? We shall be so kind in the afterwhile, but what have we been today? We shall bring each lonely life a smile, but what have we brought today? We shall give to truth a grander birth, And to steadfast faith a deeper worth, We shall feed the hungering souls of earth, but whom have we fed today? We shall reap such joys in the by and by, but what have we sown today? We shall build us mansions in the sky, but what have we built today? ‘Tis sweet in idle dreams to bask, but here and now do we do our task? Yes, this is the thing our souls must ask, “What have we done today?”

Within you is a strength that will let you rise to any challenge, a hope that will see you through any day, a talent that’s destined to bring you rewards, an energy that will help you realize your dreams, a vision that will let you see beyond disappointment, a willpower that will help you hang on during the roughest weather, a courage that will let you face any problem head on. Stay true to you and to your dreams, because it’s clear that you’re absolutely great! ›
