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 true enemies:
succeed anyway.
if you are honest and frank,
people will try to cheat you:
be honest anyway.
what you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight:
build anyway.
if you find
serenity and happiness, they may be jealous of you:
be happy anyway.
the good you do today, will often be forgotten by tomorrow:
do good anyway.
give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough:
give your
best anyway.
you see,
in the final analysis,
it is always between you and God.
it was never between you and them anyway.
