Words to live by

My coworker sent this to me today. Thought I'd share it with you:

The Paradoxical Commandments
By Kent M. Keith

People are illogical, unreasonable, 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 will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do 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 have anyway.

I try to do all that with a smile on my face every day. Sometimes it's harder than others, but it is true if you MAKE yourself smile for 10 minutes, then you no longer have to force it. It comes naturally.

Speak quietly and carry a big stick.
Use the big stick quietly.

Think positively and it will happen..........

Think positive anyway...

Hi! Thanks, I needed that

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

True, true, true...
