People are often unreasonable, irrational, 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 unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and GOD. It was never them anyway.

This is supposed to be written by Mother Teresa of Calcuta(they say it was hanging on the wall where she lived), and they are words I try to live by, Teri. Thanks for posting here, it's good to spread good words. Love,Yoriko

That is a beautiful sentiment....I passed a church this morning with this message on the bulletin board:
"If you think being meek makes you weak, be meek for a week."
