Who Passes the Real Test of Inner Strength

Scientists and researchers have toiled hard to find who has the real inner strength of character that nobody else has? Who can remain friendly, dedicated, dutiful and happy at the sight of his/her close ones? They, finally, came to an amazing conclusion. Their report describes the one with astonishing qualities. It says:

The one that starts the day without caffeine or pep pills,

The one who can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

The one that can resist complaining and boring people with his/her own troubles and problems,

Who can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,

The one who can understand when loved ones are too busy to give him/her time,

The one who can overlook when people take things out on him/her when, through no fault of his/hers, something goes wrong,

The one who can take criticism and blame without resentment,

Who can face the world without lies and deceit,

The one who can conquer tension without medical help,

The one who can relax without the aid of drugs,

The one who can do all these things and still show love to his/her close ones,

Who even if left alone for hours and ignored but still expected to do his/her duties cheerfully,

And the one who will never interrupt you or give unsolicited advice and still would not mind your indifference,

That's the person who has the real inner strength.

And that, most probably, is none other than your family dog.
