A Simple Path
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Love, anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior 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 frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank, anyway.
The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind. Think big, anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build, anyway.
People really need help but may attack if you help them. Help, anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you might get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you’ve got, anyway.Mother Teresa

From Her Book “A Simple Path”
「一條簡單的道路,多麼易走,多麼難走」。忽然想起,已有數年沒有跟人分享這篇短文。不在乎看到的人怎麼想我。我只以為,在你懷疑和氣餒的時候,你可以想一想她說的這番話。無論你是誰。
