Love Them Anyway

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.

 Love 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 true enemies.
 Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
 Be good anyway.
Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable.
 Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
 Build anyway.
People need help but will attack you if you help them.
 Help them 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.
