Other Words to Live by

We love this poem which summarizes how to act regardless of how others act.

the Poem can be found at the following link:

Do it Anyway

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 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 your God;

It was never between you and them anyway.

We love these insights, although a little cynical. There are some good points here, which were listed as "12 Hard Rules of Life for Men".

12 Hard Rules of Life for Men:

Nobody cares, work harder.
You're going to piss a lot of people off when you start doing what's best for you.
They'll ignore you until they need you.
Everything improves when you decide not to care anymore.
Things that break your heart are the same things that open your eyes.
Sometimes you need to stop seeing the good in people and start seeing What they show you.
Some people will never support you, because they are afraid of what you might become.
People will let you down in this life, promises will be broken, and you should expect less of others and trust more in yourself.
Be a good person, but don't waste time to prove it.
Remind yourself: If it was easy, everyone would do it.
If it is important for you you'll find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse.
If they act like they can live without you, help them do it.
