DESIDERATA

DESIDERATA

  Desiderata (Latin: "desired things") is a 1927 prose poem by American writer Max Ehrmann (1872–1945). Largely unknown in the author's lifetime, the text became widely known after its use in a devotional, after subsequently being found at Adlai Stevenson's deathbed in 1965, and after spoken-word recordings in 1971 and 1972.

 "Speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others" it's the line in the poem of Max Ehrmann that I noticed first. I think it says that you must believe yourself of what you're now."Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit." You must avoid them because they are somewhat related to the people whose life are ruined that they don't believe themselves what they can do."Be yourself." Believe in yourself what can you do to/ achieve.

  In this poem, people think about why other people are higher than what they are now. There is no gap between them.  They can improve themselves what other people doing right now so that they can achieve their dreams and what do they want.

  People have/ or must have relationship with GOD. Because GOD knows what to do. Having relationship with GOD will make you strong to fight the struggles you're in now and the struggles that will come. Be peace with GOD that's what the poem want's us to know.
