People are unreasonable, illogical and self centered;

Love then anyway!

If you do good, people will accuse you of ulterior motives;

Do good anyway!

If you are successful you will win false friends and true enemies;

Succeed anyway!

Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable;

Be honest and frank anyway!

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow;

Do it anyway!

The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest ideas;

Think big anyway!

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight;

Build anyway!

People can be intolerant bigots who discriminate against you based on your skin color and culture;

Be proud of your color and culture anyway!

When a white monkey is asked, “Why are you so unattractive?”

The monkey says, “I just look like my mum and dad.”

When a black monkey is asked, “Why are you so unattractive?”

The monkey says, “I just look like my mum and dad.”

Be proud to look like your mum and dad anyway!
