It was also a 1927 poem by American poet Max Ehrmann.
Desiderata – A Way of Life by Max Ehrmann
Here is the fantastic poem, enjoy!
Go
placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there
may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good
terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid
loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you
compare yourself with 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 own 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 this not 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 all 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 a child of the universe no less than the trees and the
stars; you have a right to be here.
And 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.
And
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.
"Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass." --Best part of the poem according to me

Shit man, I saw 7 unread mails and thought MB were buying Messi, then this desiderata thing came up. And to think, I started it! Should have googled it and spared this thread.
Mohun Bagan rope in 31 year old Senegalese striker Papa Babacar Diawara for rest of the season. Baba Diawara, who hails from Dakar, Senegal, started his career from local club ASC Jeanne d’Arc and signed for Portugese club Maritimo when he was just 19.
He came into the limelight soon with his goal scoring abilities and several European clubs tried to poach him from Maritimo. He cracked a 4.5 years deal with La Liga club Sevilla FC during January transfer window of 2012. He opened his account for Sevilla FC against Atletico Madrid and scored another two goals against Rayo Vallecano. Later on he played for La Liga clubs Levante and Getafe before finally coming back to his old club Maritimo in 2015/16 season. He scored 48 goals & had 21 assists over 5 seasons there.
After spending one and half year in Portugal he joined A-League champions Adelaide United. He played 20 matches for A-League outfit Adelaide United FC in 3 seasons and scored 6 goals and had 2 assists. He featured in AFC Champions League as well for Adelaide United and scored against Gamba Osaka in a 3-3 draw and assisted twice in the same match.
After the departure of Salva Chamorro Mohun Bagan is looking for a suitable striker and Baba Diawara seems to be a perfect fit in that slot as he has vast experience in playing top leagues of Europe and Asia. He is very excited to take up the new challenge and his experience in playing in sub continent before will help him to acclimatize. Gaffer Kibu Vicuna welcomes Diawara’s inclusion in Mohun Bagan squad for rest of the season.
Baba Diawara has applied for his visa and we will confirm on his arrival date soon.
After hearing news of Celtic buying 50% stake in EB, Rangers FC has decided to buy 50% in Mohun Bagan to reduce Celtic influence in India, rangers will invest 50 cr per season in MB.
I don't know how much truth is in the news (actually I find both BS). However, there would be an interesting parallel if Celtic joins EB and Rangers joins MB: the Celtic-Rangers derby has a similar sectarian edge to it. Like EB, Celtic is backed by immigrant Irish Scots while Rangers supporters are mostly natives, just like MB. Two immigrant-based clubs and two nativist clubs joining hands in this atmosphere of NRC-CAB debate is just wayy too exciting.
