[RR] Mother Teresa Poem

[Rick Barnhouse]

Just passing this on:   This poem was written by Mother Teresa and is engraved on the wall of her home for children in Calcutta.   English translation: 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. 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 never was between you and them anyway.
