i'm copying this off the dhp quarterly rap while watching "300" on tv in spanish - a strange combo...BUT this thing needs to be posted, because it's worth being lived after (of course i think the living isn't doable without the man jesus).

so this hung on mother theresa's childhood home wall:

people are unreasonable, illogical, 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 win false friends and true enemies. succeed anyway.be honest and frank anyway.
what you spend your years building may be destroyed overnight. build anyway.
people really need help but may attack you if you 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're got anyway.
the good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. do good anyway.
the people you love may hurt you.
love them anyway.
honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
