I was randomly surfing the net when I came across this poem by Kent Keith. I have no idea who he is either but I just thought the poem was nice. So here it is.
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 anyway.
What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight:
Build anyway.
If you find happiness and serenity, others 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 was never about them anyway.
