Original text and translations
English text
- 1. Making the Best of It.
- What you can’t help,
- What you can’t help,
- What you can’t help,
- Forget!
- 2. First Ask Yourself.
- Before you have said it about them,
- Ask yourself if you’d like them to know you said it.
- 3. To Understand.
- To understand a sorrow,
- You must have one all your own.
- 4. How to Find Success.
- The man who finds success looks sometimes when he’s tired,
- When he’s tired, when he’s tired,
- Looks sometimes when he’s tired.
- 5. The Pleasure of Giving
- I’d rather say “You’re welcome” once,
- than “Thank you” a thousand times.
- 6. Answer the First Rap.
- Opportunity may knock often,
- but it’s better to answer the first rap!
- 7. A Good Exercise.
- With evil things you’ll always find
- It’s best to be deaf, dumb and blind.
- 8. A Present from Yourself.
- A friend is a present you give yourself.
- 9. Now and Then.
- The “lucky” fellow gets up at five (A.M.),
- And gen’rally works till ten (P.M.);
- But the other fellow not quite so “lucky,”
- Works hard–just now and then!
- 10. When They Say the Unkind Things.
- Ain’t it gay that what “they say”
- Can’t hurt you unless it’s true?
- 11. Keep Awake.
- Success never comes to the sleeping.
- 12. Doan’ Yo’ Lis’n.
- No mattah w’at dey said,
- Keep a-walkin’ straight ahaid,
- W’y dey’ll praise yo’ when yo’ daid,
- But doan’ yo’ lis’n.
