At my Graduation Ceremony last month, our guest speaker (unfortunately her name escapes me right now), read a poem entitled “Anyway” by an unknown author.
The poem resonated with me and I'm sure with many people in the audience. There are various versions to this poem, but I have chosen this particular one, to share with you today, with the hopes that the poem will inspire you.
"Anyway "
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; Love 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 genuine enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you; Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years building, could be destroyed overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world your best anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them... anyway.
