Poem “Anyway”
• People are unreasonable, illogical, and self centred,
• Love them anyway.
• If you are kind, people may accuse you or selfish ulterior motives,
• Be kind anyway.
• If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies,
• Succeed anyway.
• The good you do today, will be forgotten tomorrow,
• Be good anyway.
• Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable,
• Be honest and frank anyway.
• What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight,
• Build anyway.
• People need help but will attack you if you help them,
• Help them anyway.
• Always remember, it is between you and God, It was never between you
and them anyway.
