By Mother Theresa
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 true enemies;
succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat 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 best you can,
and it may never be enough;
give the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
it never was between you and them anyway.

Yes Roz this is so true!! I have this poster hanging on my office door. I got it at Penn State years ago when I went to a conference at the school and experienced some racist attitudes among the my "collegues." The poster is battered and worn but the sentiment is still strong. I'm seeking to please God!
