Mother Theresa's Anyway Poem

(copy from Vickram's notes--> Felicia Arista's facebook friends)
This can be found written on the wall in Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta:

People are often unreasonable, irrational, 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 unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

* Statement yang di bold itu adalah kunci untuk saya bisa menang dari proses ini. I'll do it. Not because I want to be as 'anyway' as Mother Teresa. Coz' i know my God will do this anyway if He's in my position.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

  3. @ jess: yes.. those 2 days ago.. really really 'dark n twisty'.. i'm glad i'm 'home' now.

    @alv: yes we can write. Si Theresa bisa gitu bukan karena dia pujangga puitis kok, tapi karena itu yang dia alami, dan apa yang dia jadikan pegangan terus dalam hidupnya. So do us!
