Be the best you can be

Martin Luther King, in a speech he gave at Glenville High School, in the state of Ohio in 1967 (with a few additions):

Try being a bush, if you cannot be a tree.

If you cannot be a highway, try being a pathway.

If you cannot be the sun, try at least to be a star.

If you cannot be a symphony, at least try to sing a song.

If you cannot be a rose-garden, try being any flower.

Try being a book, if you cannot be an entire library.

If you cannot be a supermarket, try being a tuck shop.

If you cannot be in a Cathedral to pray, try being in a chapel, or even in your own room.

Be the very best you can be !
