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, others may be jealous;
Be happy
anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good
anyway.
If you give the world the best you have, 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 other people anyway.
Mother Teresa
