People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and some true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
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.
people may cheat you.
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight.
Build anyway.
someone could destroy overnight.
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
they may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough.
Give the best you've got anyway.
and it may never be enough.
Give the best you've got anyway.
You see,
in the final analysis it is between you and God;
it was never between you and them anyway.
in the final analysis it is between you and God;
it was never between you and them anyway.
-By. Mother Teresa
This was Kent Keith's poem at first, but ever since Mother Teresa placed this poem on her children's home in different version, people knew that this was her poem. I like this poem a lot because there are many times that you need to think positive no matter what's going around you. Do not judge others or compare yourself to others. Just live your life!
