Youth’s credo / W. Waldemar W. Argow

By: Description: page 30-31 In: Rotary Club of Manila. The Rotary Balita No. 700 to 723Summary: I believe in the greatness of myself, and that I am in this world for a purpose, that purpose being to put back into life more than I have taken out. I believe in the integrity of other people, assured that they try as hard to follow the gleam, even as I. I believe in the gallantry of older people whose seasoned experience and steadfast devotion has preserved for me the precious heritage of the past. I believe in the magnificence of the past, knowing that without its storied wealth I would possess nothing. I believe in the challenge of the future, fully realizing there will be no future except it becomes alive through me. I believe in the sacredness of duty, through which I must conserve what was given me, and thereby help to preserve it for all comers after me. I believe in the contagion of health, and that I can spread it through cheerfulness wholesome habits, sensible expenditure of energies, and wise use of foods. I believe in the nobility of work as the creature expressed of the best within nie, and as my share in easing the common load of all. I believe in the enrichment of play and laughter as the means of cleansing my body of staleness and my soul of bitterness. I believe in the holiness of friendship, knowing that my life is a tapestry woven from the silken threads of many beautiful lives. Because I believe this, I therefore believe in God, who justifies all my beliefs: He is the still small voice within, ever urging me toward the unattained. Since He cares for these things, I believe that even death cannot steal these precious possessions from me. And whatever more I believe is entwined in those precious feelings that lie too deep for words. BY W. WALDEMAR W. ARGOW
