Mother Teresa, 《A Simple Path

• Mother Teresa, 《A Simple Path》

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Love 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 was never between you and them anyway.

— Mother Teresa, A Simple Path

-------------------------------

人們不講道理、思想謬誤、自我中心，
不管怎樣，總是愛他們﹔

如果你做善事，人們說你自私自利、別有用心，
不管怎樣，總是要做善事﹔

如果你成功以後，身邊盡是假的朋友和真的敵人，
不管怎樣，總是要成功﹔

你所做的善事明天就被違忘，
不管怎樣，總是要做善事﹔

誠實和坦率使你易受攻擊，
不管怎樣，總是要誠實和坦率﹔

你耗費數年所建設的可能毀於一旦，
不管怎樣，總是要建設﹔

人們確實需要幫助，然而，如果你幫助他們，卻可能遭到攻擊﹔
不管怎樣，總是要幫助﹔

將你所擁有最好的東西獻給世界，
你可能會被踢掉牙齒﹔
不管怎樣，總是要將你所擁有最好的東西獻給世界。
