PEOPLE
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.
My friend just sent this to me. I just googled it and the author is Kent M. Keith. This poem is often attributed to Mother Teresa who had it hanging on the wall in her school/orphanage. However, Mr. Keith wrote these words in his book Do It Anyway: The Handbook for Finding Personal Meaning and Deep Happinessin a Crazy World
