Here is the text of the poem that Vincent read in his last video.

in #vincentb7 years ago (edited)

For those who do not know her, Mother Teresa was a Catholic nun of Indian- Albanian nationalities, Indian missionary in India, Nobel Peace Prize in 1979

The version found written on the wall in Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta:

• People are often unreasonable, irrational, 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 unfaithful 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 creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

• If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

• The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

• Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
