Anyway

A poem that Mother Teresa had framed on her wall

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered
… love them anyway

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives
… do good anyway

If you are successful, you will with false friends and true enemies
… be successful anyway

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow
… do good anyway

Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable
… be honest and frank anyway

People love underdogs but follow top dogs
…  follow some underdogs anyway

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight
… build anyway

People really need help but may attack you if you try to help
… help people anyway

If you give the world the best you have, you may get kicked in the teeth
… but give the world the best you have

… ANYWAY
