Quote from Mother Teresa

I read it today, really inspiring, or more accurately, encouraging. I used to believe that wherever there are human, there are troubles. Personal relationships may be the hardest thing on earth to handle. But these are the words of wisdom, courage, sincerity, and LOVE.....

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self centered:
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfishness, 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.

This is the way of living that we shall pursuit, isn't it? I really hope that all these will be carved on my heart and even if I shall face this cool and difficult society one day, I'll put them into practice.....
