Sent to me a while ago. It works for me. Be true to yourself first and 
foremost.



                        The Guy In The Glass

        When you get what you want in your struggle for self 
        And the world makes you king for a day, 
        Then go to the mirror and look at yourself 
        And see what the guy has to say,

        For it isn't your mother, your father, or wife 
        Whose judgment you must pass. 
        The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life 
        Is the guy staring back from the glass.

        He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest 
        For he's with you clean to the end; 
        And you've passed the most dangerous and difficult test 
        If the guy in the glass is your best friend.

        You may be like Little Jack Horner and chisel a plum 
        And think you are a wonderful guy, 
        But the guy in the glass says your a bum 
        If you can't look him straight in the eye.

        You may fool the whole world - down the pathway of years 
        And get pats on the back as you pass; 
        But the final reward will be the heartaches and tears 
        If you've cheated the guy in the glass.
