I wanted to share this beautiful poem of simple truths. I use it as a constant reflection in my own personal and professional life, I hope you enjoy it too…
Way of Life of Mother Teresa of Calcutta
People are often unreasonable, illogical, And self centred:
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 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 your God;
