This version found written on the wall in Mother Teresa's home
for children in Calcutta
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 between you and them anyway.
