Anyway

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered

Love them anyway

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish motives

Do good anyway

If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies

Succeed anyway

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow

Do good anyway

Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable

Be honest and transparent anyway

What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight

Build anyway

People who really need help may attack you if you help them

Help them anyway

Give the World the best you have and you may get hurt

Give the World the best you have anyway

A version of the paradoxical commandments written by Kent M. Keith
