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 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,
because in the end that is all that truly matters :)
- Mother Teresa
