Do it anyway.

Inspiring words from Mother Theresa. I'd seen this before, but today I saw it in reference to the Indonesian government's mind-numbing demand that we get out of their country. I find that every statement here is true to the credible extreme .. but it's not a reason to stop doing it.

"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 was never between you and them anyway."

Very nice quotes! Thanks!

(Indonesia wants us out of their country? You mean helping with tsunami aid? Why?)
