A poem by Mother Theresa
This poem was written by Mother Teresa and is engraved on the wall of her home for children in Calcutta.
People are often unreasonable, illogical, & 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've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never
between you and them anyway.
