People are often unreasonable, illogical,
and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of
selfishness, 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
best wishes
