Lessons for life
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind.
Think big anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack if you help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you might get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

I see you at the meetings,
but you never say hello.
You’re busy all the time you’re there
with those you really know.
I sit among the members,
yet I’m a lonely gal.
The new ones feel as strange as I;
the old ones pass us by.
**** it, you folks urged us to join
and talked of fellowship,
You could just cross the room, you know,
but you never make the trip.
Can’t you just nod your head and smile
or stop and shake a hand,
get over your mom’s good intentions . 15
Then go sit among your friends?
Now that I’d understand.
I’ll be at your next meeting,
and hope that you will spend
The time to introduce yourself,
I joined to be your friend

Where are my stone cold optimist
Roll call all positive no hostages
I feed of the energy in my approximate vicinity
Then whole world will know an optimist
Gather your belongings and meet me at the rocket ship
Yes truly I will be with the hostages taking roll call all positive
Sergent! no hostages are in
Thats work for an optimist
Blood and sweat my middle name
Thats an optimist riding a rocket ship
Our heart beats so hard numbing our veins
Thats a maddening fit
But you know how sweet victory is for an optimist
Take is easy simpleton optimist
Real optimist be like oh yeah smiling in there hearts
All positive not a negated positive deluded optimist
The End
