Some Slightly Different Rules

Today, I found some words to live by.  It might be an omen.


Anyway: The Paradoxical Commandments by Kent M. Keith (http://www.paradoxicalcommandments.com)


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.


What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;


Build anyway.


If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;


Be happy anyway.


The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;


Do good anyway.


Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;


Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.


You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;


It was never between you and them anyway.
