The Winner's Creed

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered -
LOVE THEM ANYWAY.

If you do, people will accuse you of being selfish
and having an ulterior motive -
DO GOOD ANYWAY.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies -
SUCCEED ANYWAY.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable -
BE HONEST ANDY FRANK ANYWAY.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow -
DO GOOD ANYWAY.

The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be
shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds -
THINK BIG ANYWAY.

People favor underdogs, but follow top dogs -
FIGHT FOR SOME UNDERDOGS ANYWAY.

When you spend building for years, it may be
destroyed overnight -
BUILD ANYWAY.

Give the world the best you have and you'll always
get kicked in the teeth -
GIVE THE BEST YOU'VE GOT ANYWAY.

When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.
Let the rest of your life be in such a fashion so that when
you die, the world cries and YOU REJOICE ANYWAY."
