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 genuine enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere,
people may deceive you;
Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and
happiness, some may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often
be forgotten tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
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.
