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 friends; 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 your best anyway.
You see, in the
final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between
you and them anyway.
