People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.<br /> If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.<br /> If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.<br /> If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.<br /> What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.<br /> If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.<br /> The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.<br /> Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you&#039;ve got anyway.<br /> You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.<br /> -Mother Teresa
