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,
   there may be jealousy;
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 Theresa
