Something Special Mother Theresa Wrote

[sophie4]

Hello Everyone,

Mother Theresa carved the following into the wall of her home for children in Calcutta. I re-read it often.

"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 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 forget tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.

Give the world the best you have anyway....

Mother Theresa

The people who don't know about the work of Mother Theresa are losing out on something amazing.

I actually think princess Diana was inspired by her but I liked seeing all the projects around the world she was involved in.
