People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, they may accuse you of being
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.
You see, in the end,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
– Mother Teresa
