People are often
unreasonable,
irrational, 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
unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and
sincere
people may deceive you;
Be honest
and sincere anyway.
What you spend years
creating
others could destroy overnight;
Create anyway.
If you find serenity and
happiness,
some may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
will often
be forgotten.
Do good anyway.
Give the best you have,
and it may
never be enough;
Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis,
it is
between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
