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 enemies;
Succeed Anyway
If you are honest and frank, People may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway
When 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 the best you have, And it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway
You see, In the final analysis, It is between you and God;
It was never between You and them Anyway
