I got this from a friend and found it really deep so I thought I'd post it here to see if you guys find it useful..

“If you get what you want in your struggle for self, and the world makes you a king for a day… Just go to a mirror and look at yourself, and see what that man has to say.
For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife, whose judgments you have to pass. The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people may think you a straight-shooting chum, and call you a wonderful guy. But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum if you can’t look him straight in the eye.
He’s the fellow to please, never mind all the rest, for he’s with you forever, ‘til the end. And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test, if the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life, and get pats on the back as you pass. But your final reward will be heartaches and tears if you’ve cheated the man in the glass.”
