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 enemies--
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 the best you have, and it may never be enough--
give the world the best you have anyway.
you see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God--
It was never between you and them anyway.

--Mother Teresa
