今天在一本書的內頁中突然發現一段泰瑞莎修女的短文很發人深省，有時候你想做些有意義的事，可是卻免不了一些冷嘲熱諷，甚至這些是來自你正在幫助的人；有時你會懷疑自己正在做的事，想到初衷又讓你不得不堅持下去；ANWAY 是一篇充滿力量的鼓勵。
People are unreasonable, illogical 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 will be forgotten tomorrow,
DO GOOD ANYWAY
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable,
BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY
What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight,
BUILD ANYWAY
People really need help but may attack you if you help them,
HELP PEOPLE ANYWAY
Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth
GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU’VE GOT ANYWAY
(from a sign on the wall of Shishu Bhavan, the children’s home in Calcutta)
