People are unreasonable, illogical, and self centered
LOVE THEM ANYWAY
If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives
DO GOOD ANYWAY
If you are successful, you may win friends and true enemies
SUCCEED ANYWAY
The good you do today, may be forgotten tomorrow
DO GOOD ANYWAY
Honesty and transparency make you vunerable
BE HONEST AND TRANSPARENT ANYWAY
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight
BUILD ANYWAY
People who really want help may attack you if you help them
HELP THEM ANYWAY
Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt
GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST ANYWAY
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God.
IT WAS NEVER BETWEEN YOU AND THEM ANYWAY.
This little verse was recently emailed to my secretary who retyped it and presented it to my wife, Jenny, who in turn, pasted it on the wall besides her computer.
In the final analysis the last two lines tell an absolute truth. If we obey that thought then everything else falls into place anyway.
