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.
