Two people that, as overcooked as it may sound, amaze me are Gandhi and Mother Teresa.
She, Mother Teresa, wrote this.
“People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, some could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness some may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have; and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway…”
I was never a big fan of Gandhi. He advised the Jews of Europe to acquiesce in the face of extermination. Banana bread! Why must you torture me with banana bread?-Suley
Didn’t i say something along the lines you-do-what-you-re-doing-and-they-will-eventually-change!?”If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives” Isn’t that the truth!?Fitèna
Hey, mowing the lawn deserves congratulations. I don’t even wash the dishes. Heck, I barely flush the toilet these days.It doesn’t take much, but it takes a lot more than some people seem willing to contribute.
