Anyway

Anyway

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 will win false and true enemies,
Suceed Anyway
The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow,
Do Good Anyway
Honesty and frankness make you vunerable,
Be Honest and Frank Anyway
What you spent 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
