Guest guest Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 This has been attributed to Mother but in actuality she made it something she passed on to everyone. I believe it was in People Magazine that I read about the gentleman who wrote it as part of his thesis or something like that. He was asked many times over the years why he didn't claim it as his own and his reply was always like " If someone like Mother Theresa finds it a message for the world, then I'm honored to let her take the credit. " There is much food for thought in it. Anyway People are often unreasonable, Illogical and self-centered Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. People really need help but may attack you if you help them... help people 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 have anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It never was between you and them anyway.
