"Say, Pooh, why aren't YOU busy?" I said.
"Because it's a nice day," said Pooh.
"Yes, but---"
"Why ruin it?" he said.
"But you could be doing something Important," I said.
"I am," said Pooh.
"Oh? Doing what?"
"Listening," he said.
"Listening to what?"
"To the birds. And that squirrel over there."
"What are they saying?" I asked.
"That it's a nice day," said Pooh.
"But you knew that already," I said.
"Yes, but it's always good to hear that somebody else
thinks so, too," he replied.
"Well, you could be spending your time getting Educated by
listening to the Radio, instead," I said.
"That thing?"
"Certainly. How else will you know what's going on in the
world?" I said.
"By going outside," said Pooh.
"Er...well..." (Click) "Now just listen to this, Pooh."
"...thirty thousand people were killed today when five
jumbo airliners collided over downtown Los Angeles...," the
Radio announced.
"What does THAT tell you about the world?" asked Pooh.
"Hmmm. You're right." (Click)
"What are the birds saying now?" I asked.
"That it's a nice day," said Pooh.

lwvanels (Lucien Van Elsen):
Go placidly amid the noise and 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 the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid
loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you
compare yourself with others, you may become vain and 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 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 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
starts; 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 with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
