The Paradoxical Commandments

I did some housekeeping with my blog and changed the template; something new for the new year :) Well, I was browsing and felt a bit confused that the blogs listed were from 2007 and I thought I was blogging since 2004! Where are those blogs?? Well, I found the answer myself! I used to blog in Rediff and I switched to blogger in Sept 2007. Incidentally knowing myself and my ill-fated memory I had posted the exported all blog digest from 2004 - 2007 Sept as the first blog 'The baggage' smart ain't it :) :D so then I was browsing it and found this sparkler! Wish there could be a 'yellow sticky' for the mind to remember such pearls of wisdom !

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 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.

Post your post anyway,

Nice saying. I think this saying is by Mother Teresa but it has a little change. I have the Mother Teresa in my Archive as I like it very much. If you want I can send you.
