Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

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 true enemies: Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank people will try to cheat you: Be honest anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight: Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous of you: Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten by tomorrow: Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough: Give your best anyway.

Go out into the world today and love the people you meet. Let your presence light new light in the hearts of people.

Don't pass up something that's attractive today because you think you will find something way more attractive tomorrow.

The Noah rule: Predicting rain doesn't count; building arks does.

If you get No as an answer, remember N.O. means "Next Opportunity". So Let's be positive.
