I just received this in an email:
*(A sign found in the home of Mother Teresa) * 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. Be successful 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, others may be jealous. Be happy anyway.*
The good you do today, people will forget tomorrow. Do good anyway.*
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.*
For you see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway. |
