People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
people may accuse you
of being selfish and having
ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.
What you spend years building,
someone may try to 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 final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them,
anyway.
~Mother Theresa~
