Between You and God
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 anyway…
What you spend years building, someone
may try to destroy overnight; build anyway…
If you find serenity and happiness, others
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, though
it never seems enough; give the world the
best you have anyway…
You see, in the final analysis, it is between
you and God; it was never between you and
them anyway.

Be your self could be the tenth. In your list there are only nine.
I read 100 years about 20 years ago in a Dutch translation. I wish I could read it in the original version. I loved it.
Ciao

This is a very good list, Shy! It reminds me to disregard the negative forces in the world and just continue to be myself. I’m going to print it out and stick it on my wall
***THANKS for signing my GuestMap***!!!
By the way, just noticed you were reading “100 Years in Solitude.” I read it in English and was confused at many points. But the flow of fantasy, dreams and history has such a magical quality. I wish I could read it in the original language.
