  • Mother Teresa had this on the wall of her children's home in Calcutta.


    People are unreasonable, illogical and 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.
    Succeed anyway.
    The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
    Do good anyway.
    Honestry and frankness make you vulnerable.
    Be honest and frank anyway.
    What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
    Build anyway.
    People really need help but may attack you if you help them.
    Help people anyway.
    Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
    Give the world the best you've got anyway.
    You see, in the final analysis, It is between you and God;
    It was never between you and them anyway.

    Actually, the cited poem was not written by Mother Teresa -people just assume that it was written by her because she had it up on her wall. The "Anyway" poem is actually called the "Paradoxial Commandments" written by  Kent M. Keith in 1968 as part of a booklet for student leaders.
