True Test

He who resents
      and blames the past for shaping him
      has not yet assumed fair control
of his own destiny;

he who shirks burdens
      of responsibility for his own acts
      has not yet passed the true test
of real maturity;

he who accepts
      that he's a hapless victim of circumstance
      is indeed what he accepts
himself to be!
