The Rest is Still Unwritten

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 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 God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
