Anyway….

this well-know poem by mother teresa. most of you might have heard of it before. anyway, since it is a very nice poem, i’m sharing it here.

this poem was written is engraved on the wall of her home for children in calcutta:

——————————
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; Succeed 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, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.

Give the world your best 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.

Always Go Forward
