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 will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.
. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
. The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest ideas. Think big anyway.
. People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for some underdogs.
. What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
. Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you’ve got anyway (Reader’s Digest).
KneEmail: "For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: “ Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth” (2 Pet. 2:20-22; cf. Luke 23:34; Acts 7:60; 2 Tim. 4:16; Rom. 12:20-21).
