My sister shared this awesome “thought” by [Dr. Kent M. Keith.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent%5FM.%5FKeith?ref=kudithipudi.org)

People are illogical, unreasonable, 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.*

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.  
*Do good anyway.*

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.  
*Be honest and frank anyway.*

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.  
*Think big anyway.*

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.  
*Fight for a few underdogs anyway.*

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.  
*Build anyway.*

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.  
*Help people anyway.*

Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.  
*Give the world the best you have anyway.*
