How to be happy though rich or poor

A canoe trip is like a voyage of life.

An old 'un ought to hand on piloting hints.

The only true Success is Happiness.

Two steps to Happiness are: Taking life as a game and giving out Love.

Happiness is not mere pleasure not the outcome of wealth.

It is the result of active work rather than passive enjoyment of pleasure.

Your success depends on your own individual effort in the voyage of life,

And the avoidance of certain dangerous Rocks.

Self-education, in continuation of what you have learned at school, is necessary.

Go forward with confidence.

Paddle your own canoe!


Robert Baden-Powell
