"Anyway" ... Words of encouragement

[I recently came across this, which was attributed to Mother Teresa of Calcutta, though I think that it may be from a different source.]
------------------------------

People are unreasonable, illogical 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.
What you spent your years building may be destroyed overnight. BUILD ANYWAY.
People really need help but may attack you if you help them. HELP PEOPLE ANYWAY.
Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth. GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU HAVE ANYWAY."
