posted this in a few place..
mostly, on the wall of Mother Teresa's Mission in Kolkutta
p.s. btw. the post is what was known as The Paradoxical
Commandments... but another version i'd rather follow is Mother
Teresa's Anyway... that one is the Real McCoy and i would say has a
touch of the divine in it 
People are often unreasonable, irrational, 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 unfaithful friends and
some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and
sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.
Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy
anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good
anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best
anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never
between you and them anyway.
