RESOLUTIONS FOR LIFE.
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them, anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish motives.
Do good, anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed, anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good, anyway.
Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable.
Be honest and transparent, anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build, anyway.
People who really want to help may attack you if you help them.
Help them, anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt.
Give the world the best, anyway.
The world is full of conflict.
Choose peace of mind, anyway.
(Thx Mama)
