by Mother Teresa
 

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred. Love them anyway.

If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you may have false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.

People who really need help may attack you if you help them. Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best... Anyway!
