The Man in The Glass
When you’ve got what you want in the struggle for ‘self and the world makes you king for the day Just go to the mirror and take a good look and see what that man has to say. It isn’t your parents or friends or your spouse whose judgment upon you must pass, the person who most counts in your life is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people may think you are a straight shooting chum and call you a wonderful guy,
but the man in the glass says you are only a bum if you can’t look him square in the eye. He’s the person to please, never mind all the rest for he’s with you clear to the end. You pass your most dangerous and difficult test when the man in the glass is your friend. You can fool the whole world on your pathway of years, and get pats on the back as you pass, But your final reward will be heartache and tears if you cheated the man in the glass.

I'm not sure where this poem is originally taken from, but I have seen it throughout the years and wanted to share.
