People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self centred;
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 be often 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.
