I found this in a profile of a rather philosophical woman. It is amazing how many people feel the need to turn their profiles into something Plato would be proud to use as his own. She attributed the following to Mother Teresa.
People are often unreasonable, illogical, 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 false friends and 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.
~Mother Teresa~
I like this a lot. Have read it over and over. If only we could live our lives that way. Starting with me!!
And a final thought for today:::
Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others, whenever they go.
Now how true is that, lol.
