"Paradoxical Commandments"
By: Dr. Kent M. Keith


People are illogical, unreasonable, 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.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds;
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs;
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight;
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do 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 have anyway.

I don't know if someday I will fall back in the "why even bother" state of mind but I hope not, and for now I like your quote :)
