People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centred;
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable;
Be honest and frank anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten about tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
The big people with big ideas can be shot down by the little people with
small minds;
Think big anyway.
People favour the underdogs but follow only the top dogs;
Fight for the underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building can be destroyed overnight;
Build anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth;
Give it the best you’ve got anyway! (Anon.)
