A Servant Attitude
Topic :
Servant | People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered. | Love them anyway. |
| If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. | Do good anyway. |
| If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies. | Succeed anyway. |
| The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. | Do good anyway. |
| Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. | Be honest and frank anyway. |
| The biggest men with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men with the smallest minds. | Think big anyway. |
| People favor underdogs, but follow only top dogs. | Fight for a few underdogs anyway. |
| What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. | Build anyway. |
| People really need help, but may attack you if you do help them. | Help them anyway. |
| Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth. | Give the world the best you have anyway. |
