People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self centred;
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 unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you;
Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating others could destroy overnight;
Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will be often forgotten;
Do good anyway
Give the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.作者: cocofu 时间: 06-10-5 19:00
Now I understand why god is so important in our daily life.
Anyway, the poem shocks me absolutely.
Often we chose to escape the truths which hurt us, though we did good things.Now I decide to do it anyway, though it brings bad.The world is complex, so we must face it bravely,both the good side and the bad side.And never give up in the hard time.Because god understand when you try.I mean, we may not take those we don't appreciate as the standard to value our life. If you really want someone to value what you did or something meaningful, take god and your ideal.And you will never feel lonely and meaningless if others exclude you again.

After reading this poem, a book named "Tolerance" by Hendrik Willem Van Loon bring to my mind quickly.
