I've been going back through my files of pics etc to update a movie (Windows movie maker) of my life (only pics etc of places I've lived, worked or simply bring back memories for me only) and came across this file which I'd saved from many years ago, which I thought may strike a chord with someone. The Anyway Poem... 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.Transparency may make you vulnerable. Be transparent anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give the world your best anyway.You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God. It is never between you and them anyway.
I'm afraid I don't know who to credit for this, but I think it's a good way to live your life. Apologies if this is inappropriate, but the water is off, and I'm having to drink it neat!

A passing smile on a dark day, lights the day up So true, we never know what others are going through... usually far more than us, and we should be grateful for what we have got.
