Mother Teresa
We were at a graduation on Saturday. The speaker shared this message. It's worth remembering.
The
Final Analysis
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 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 may
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 all between you and God;
It was never between you and them
anyway.
