The verses below reportedly were written on the wall of Mother Teresa’s home for children in Calcutta, India, and are widely attributed to her.
It is very inspiring and moving, and will remind you to look back at your true purpose when things are getting tough.
I would love to put them on my wall as well..
They are good anyway.
“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 win
false friends and true enemies,
SUCCEED ANYWAY
The good you do will
be forgotten tomorrow,
DO GOOD ANYWAY
Honesty and frankness
make you vulnerable,
BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY
What you spent 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’ll get kicked
in the teeth,
GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU’VE GOT ANYWAY.”

I was just doing some surfing on my Google Phone during my break at work , and I happened across something I thought was interesting . It linked to your site so I clicked over. I can’t really figure out the relevance between your site and the one I came from, but your site good none the less .
Good read … headline catchy … good points, some of which I have learned along the way as well (humility, grace, layoff the controversial stuff). Will share with my colleagues at work as we begin blogging from a corporate perspective. Thanks!
Your main header is strange in Chrome, buddy.
Hi! Your article rocks and is really a very good understand!…
Thank you for the advice. I’ve found your first point to be most effective.
I think that is an interesting point, it made me think a bit. Thanks for sparking my thinking cap. Sometimes I get so much in a rut that I just feel like a record.
I can not sign up for your RSS feed. Please help?

Tired of getting low numbers of useless traffic to your website? Well i want to tell you about a new underground tactic that makes myself $900 daily on 100% AUTOPILOT. I could be here all day and going into detail but why dont you simply check their website out? There is really a great video that explains everything. So if your serious about making easy cash this is the site for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche
