This poem is witten by Mother Teresa and is engraved on the wall of her home for children in Calcutta.
People are often unreasonable, illogical
And self – centered,
Forgive them any way
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
If you spend years building,
Someone could destroy overnight,
Build anyway
If you find serenity and happyiness,
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 is never betweeen you and them anyway
