Anyway

I can't remember where I first heard of this but they say it's an inscription on some stone or landmark found somewhere in India. A priest whose name I can't remember also used it for his Christmas eve homily. Later on I got some forwarded Powerpoint slides as well, containing similar words. Whoever wrote this is certainly very very wise.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of being selfish, and having ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;Succeed anyway.
What you spend years building, someone may try to destroy overnight. Build anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest 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.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous.Be happy anyway.
