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 well anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
And it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

-Mother Teresa
