sunday.

 If you do good, people may 
accuse you of selfish motives.
Do good anyway.
 If you are successful, you may win 
false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
 The good you do today may 
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 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 your best anyway.
Mother Teresa
