A poem loved by Mother Teresa hung in a Calcutta orphanage People are unreasonable, illogical, self-centered … love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives … do good anyway. If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies … be successful anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow … do good anyway. Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable … be honest and frank anyway. People love underdogs but follow only top dogs … follow some underdog anyway. What you spend years building what may be destroyed overnight … build anyway. People really need help but may attack you if you try to help … help people anyway. If you give the world the best you have, you may get kicked in the teeth … but give the world the best you have … Anyway. by Dr. Kent M. Keith – The Paradoxical Commandments.
