Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 This is one of my favorite inspirational posters. I realised that trying to "do good anyway" does not mean that I am trying to be a saint or angel . It is just there is no other option , but to return charity for unkindness, if I want to have peace of mind . As Mahatma Gandhi said " Returning an eye for an eye only makes both blind ". As the Peace Pilgrim said "Hate cannot be conquered by hate, only by love". My acknowledgement and thanks to the author Dr. Kent M. Keith. ====================================================================== People are illogical, unreasonable, 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. The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. Think big anyway. People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway. Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway. ===================================================================== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
