By Mother Teresa, revised from "The Paradoxical Commandments" by Dr. Kent M. Keith
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 best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God;
it was never between you and them anyway.
人们经常是不讲道理、没有逻辑和自我中心的
无论如何，你要原谅他们
如果你很友善，人们可能会说你自私、动机不良
无论如何，你还是要友善
当你成功了，就会有一些虚假的朋友
和一些真正的敌人
无论如何，你还是要取得成功
如果你是诚实坦率的，人们可能会欺骗你
无论如何，你还是要诚实和坦率
你多年来建造的东西
可能被人在一夜之间摧毁
无论如何，你还是要去建造
如果你找到了平静和幸福，他们可能会嫉妒你
无论如何，你还是要幸福
你今天做的善事，明天就会被人们忘记
无论如何，你还是要做善事
即使你把最好的都给了这个世界
世界可能还是那么缺乏
无论如何，还是要把你最好的给这个世界
你看，说到底，这是你和上帝之间的事
无论如何，这从来都不是你与别人之间的事
