Do for others what you would like them to do for you. This is a summary of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.

My dear brothers and sisters, be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to get angry.

Matthew 7:3
And why worry about a speck in the eye of a brother when you have a board in your own?

*If people are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.

*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.
