If you know me, you'll know I have very little patience for inane psychobabble and pandering pseudo-intellectual self-help books. Books that provide insight into your soul in the same way that John Edwards speaks with your dead relatives - through manipulative mental slight of hand.
Anyway, there are two pieces which some people might feel that way about which, regardless, will always affect me, which I would in fact consider "words to live by." It's been a long time since I read either of these simple, basic pages of wisdom, but I was reminded of them both when someone quoted part of the second one.
These are the Desiderata, written in (I think) the 1920s and "Always Wear Sunscreen" which was a college commencement address in 1997.
Click through and read them again. They're so simple.
