Communication

I've noticed in my life that I like to exaggerate.

 I exaggerate stories to make myself look like a better person. 

We need to learn to be our one true self. 

People will respect the person who respects himself. 

I thought I would share this poem from my readings in class.

When you get what you want in your struggle for self, 

And the world makes you king for a day;

  Then go to your mirror and look at yourself;

And see what that guy has to say. 

For it isn’t your father or husband or wife,

Whose judgment upon you must pass; 

The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life,

Is the guy staring back from the glass. 

He’s the man you must please, never mind all the rest,

For he’s with you right up to the end; 

And you’ve passed your most difficult dangerous test,

When the man in the glass is your friend. 

You may be like little Jack Horner and “chisel” a plum,

And think you’re a wonderful guy; 

But the man in the glass thinks you’re only a bum,

If you can’t look him straight in the eye. 

You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,

And can get pats on the back as you pass; 

But your final reward will be heartache and tears;

If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.
