DO IT ANYWAY ( by MOTHER TERESA)

          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 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.
