"Do it Anyway" by Mother Teresa

"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 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.
