If you do something good and it turns out to be the opposite, you will be tempted to stop doing it. Keep doing good anyway!

If you do something good

And it turns out to be the opposite,

you will be tempted to quit. 

 

Still, 

keep doing it.

That's what it means.

 

This trains our minds.

 

It's important to put good things into action.

It's important to act on what's good, and let go of how it's evaluated.




【The 10 Articles of Paradoxes】

 


"Forty years ago, a college student by the name of Kent M. Keith left behind "The Ten Articles of Paradoxes". This proverb left by a young man is still burning in the hearts of people all over the world.


Mother Teresa was so moved by this saying that she inscribed it word for word on the wall of her home for orphans in Calcutta.

 

 

1) People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

2) If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

3) If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

4) The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Be good anyway.

5) Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

6) 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. 

7) People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. 

Fight for a few underdogs anyway. 

8) What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

9)  People need help, but may attack you if you try to help them.
Help them anyway.

10) Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. 

Give the world the best you have anyway.
