Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there maybe in silence!.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons!.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly: listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant: they too have their story!.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons: they are vexations to the spirit!.

If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain
or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself!.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans!.

Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time!.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery!. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism!.

Be yourself! Especially do not feign affection!. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass!.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth!.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune!. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings!. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness!.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself!.

You are child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here!. Whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should!. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be!.

Whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul!. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world!.

Be cheerful

Strive to be happy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Stop producing and get the government (haha) to start here in the usa and help what needs done, for example a program where there is no homeless, a way to get the less fortunate on their feet again (yes there are ppl who take advantage, but there are so many scenarios where it's not the person's fault)!. Help people understand the idea of adoption before conceiving, tell teens sex isn't all that, they may have the energy but if they only knew after school and college haha!. Ummm create better ways so people aren't wrapt up in nonsense such as media and fashion, like creative things to do, but I think they don't want us to be creative!. Umm tell people u don't have to be a tree hugger to appriciate and take care of the environment we are all connected and need it's elements!. Umm, stop crappy music haha!. Umm stop making remakes of movies haha!. People should be enlightened not frightened into believing or following paths!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

By trying to treat others the way you want to be treated, but not expect it in return!. It sometimes takes a person who is treating others with disrespect to be treated extra special regardless before they learn to return that respect to others!. Be the one to start the change, if you set an example, maybe others will follow suit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Find a high cliff and jump, but get into some kinda sealed bag thing on the way down, so you don't splatter all over and make an environmentally dangerous or unclean mess!. It would take talent, but it could be done!. Go holding hands with someone, preferably of the same sex, so they'd say it was a "gay" love mess!. You'd make the papers and the rest of us would save on air, food, wastage, the possibilities are endless!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Kurt Vonnegut mentioned in one of his books that it is actually impossible to live in a perfect society, and I very much agree with this!. If you are talking about the environment, then yes, recycling is good, as well as energy efficient methods of waste production!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the only way the world could become a better place is the complete destruction of the human race, every last speck of human DNA needs obliterating then the ants & monkeys can move in and take over!.

might even get some better TV ;)Www@QuestionHome@Com

By pleasing personality, by good behavior of people throught each other!. And respect elders and love youngers!. Do not creat nuclear and do not experience of it!. Give rights and be fair!. Thats what I can think will be not just enough but alleast a start!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's hard for me to make my world a better place when I spent most of adolescents making it a worse place to live in!. I need some recovery time!. By bettering myself, I guess I'll make the world a better place!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
