If you can’t be content, be happy. If you can’t be happy, be well. If you can’t be well, be funny. If you can’t be funny, be adamant.

If you can’t be adamant, be curious and if you can’t be curious, be accepting. If you can’t be accepting, be quiet. If you can’t be quiet, be nice.

If you can’t be nice, be helpful. If you can’t be helpful, be mindful. If you can’t be mindful, be useful. If you can’t be useful, be willing.

If you can’t be willing, be honest and if you can’t be honest, be alone. If you can’t be alone then do and say nothing for that is all you are good for.
