Poem by Mother Teresa

This poem was written by Mother Teresa and is engravedon the wall of her home for children in Calcutta. This is one of the touching poem.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, &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 friendsand some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Behonest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroyovernight:
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forgettomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you andGod;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta, OM (August 27, 1910 – September 5, 1997) was an Indian Catholic nun of Albanian origin who founded the Missionaries of Charity. Her work among the poverty-stricken of Kolkata (Calcutta) made her one of the world's most famous people, and it is widely thought that she will be canonized shortly.
Teresa was awarded the Templeton Prize in 1973, the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, and India's highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna in 1980. She was beatified by Pope John Paul II in October 2003, hence she may be properly called Blessed Teresa by Catholics. She was the first and only person to be featured on an Indian postage stamp while still alive.
