To Think About
June 25th, 2007“Anyway”
The other day I was sorting through my hundreds of little pieces of paper crammed in my backpack during the last five years of travel and came across this prose picked up in an interesting clothing stall at the Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok called Common Tribe that sells zen-inspired clothing.
Anyway
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have got
ANYWAY.
