Love, Life and Work

Love, Life and Work is a great and inspirational self-help book by Elbert Hubbard that tells people how to be happy and productive. This self-help volume includes this passage. The supreme prayer of my heart is not to be learned, rich, famous, powerful, or "good," but simply to be radiant. I desire to radiate health, cheerfulness, calm courage and good will. I wish to live without hate, whim, jealousy, envy, fear. I wish to be simple, honest, frank, natural, clean in mind and clean in body, unaffected-ready to say "I do not know," if it be so, and to meet all men on an absolute equality-to face any obstacle and meet every difficulty unabashed and unafraid.
