The Anyway Poem

The Poem
An extract from the Obama Threads - By Michelle

My name is Michelle and I support Barack Obama for President of the United States of America. I love this poem. I’m not sure who wrote it, although it has been credited to Mother Teresa, the Dalai Lama and a Harvard student who wishes to remain anonymous. No matter who is responsible, these are words that we and this campaign should live by.

The Anyway Poem

• 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 will 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 often forget tomorrow; 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 and God. It is never between you and those people anyway.
