ANYWAY
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 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 is never between you and them anyway.
