ANYWAY

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.

looking back

it's been so long since ive made an entry to this blog. days, weeks, months. time passes by so swiftly. i just let it.
i read some of my entries. how naive the blogger is, i thought.
time brings with it more wisdom? more experience yes. after all that's happened, i couldnt see things the same way as i did before. the same things look different now.
