Anyway

People are often unreasonable,

illogical and self-centered;

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,

People may accuse youof selfish, ulterior motives;

Be Kind anyway.

If you are successful,

you will win some false friends andsome true enemies;

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere,

People may deceive 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 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 between you and them anyway.

-Mother Teresa hung a copy of this poem on a wall of the orphanage she founded in Calcutta. Its source is unknown.

found this poem really beautiful..think it teaches us to live life with no regrets..but often enough..its so easy to forget such words of wisdom..when frustration and anger carry us away..disappointment and resentment blind us momentarily from previous good deeds of people..sigh..its difficult to be detached from your emotions when you get disappointed over and over again..but i guess in the end, you just learn to let go, to not let it bother you anymore..

forgive anyway.

rather stressed right now..3 presentations and one test next week..but i know they'll all be over soon..just hope we'll do a good job! i shall be productive from now on! and stop going onto my bed to study! yes!
