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.
