~Mother Theresa

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 just never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

I like that. I think I should put it on a poster and hang it on my wall. Just to remind me why I should bother putting my shopping trolley back in the return bay instead of leaving it in the middle of a carpark space like EVERYBODY ELSE.

Yes. What other people think is, largely, irrelevant, if you know you're doing what is right.

As part of your world audience, i have to say i do NOT think you are giving us enough posts when you haven't added anything new for a whole week.

You can hardly be one to complain, Myo!
