"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,
there may be jealousy;
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."
Mother Teresa
