Anyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you win some false friends and 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 can tear down overnight; build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they my 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 your best anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.
