Anyway


People are unreasonable, illogical, self-centered...
love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you
of selfish, ulterior motives....
do good anyway.

If you are successful, you win false
friends and true enemies...
be successful anyway.

The good you do taday may be
forgotten tomorrow...
do good anyway

People love underdogs but follow only top dogs...
follow some underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may
be destroyed overnight...
build anyway.

People really need help, but may attack you
if you try to help them...
help them anyway.

Give the world the best you have, you may get
kicked in the teeth...
but give the world the best you have anyway.
