"The Final Analysis"

"The Final Analysis"

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred;

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of being selfish and having ulterior motives;

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and 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 it overnight;

Build it anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget them;

Do good anyway.
Give the very best that you have, and it may never be enough;

Give your best anyway.
You see ...

In the final analysis,

it is between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway.
