DO IT ANWAY


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 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.


Mother Teresa

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
