People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them
anyway ...
If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives ;
Be kind
anyway ...
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies ;
Succeed
anyway ...
If you are honest and frank , people may cheat you ;
Be honest and frank
anyway ...
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight ;
Build
anyway ...
If you find serenity and happiness , they may be jealous ;
Be happy
anyway ...
The good you do today , people will often forget tomorrow ;
Do good
anyway ...
Give the world the best you have , and it may never be enough ;
Give the world the best you've got
anyway ...
You see, in the final analysis,
It is between
you and
God ;
It was never between you and them
anyway ...
written by Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
