BE KIND
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.

 

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God:

It was never between you and them anyway.

Mother Teresa
