In Comparison

When I graded myself from one to ten
Compared to others I know,
In every category someone was better.
My grades were always too low.

So I quit doing that and changed my ways,
I am happier now than then.
If I’m better today than I was before
I simply give myself a ten.

Life is very simple, very simple indeed.
When you know what you want and live by this creed.
That you treat others as you want them to treat you.
Life is very simple, if you live by this creed in all that you do.
