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 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 final analysis, it is between you and God;
It’s never between you and them anyway
Mother Theresa
