do it anyways
"People are often unreasonable, illogical and
self-centered. 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 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
God. It was never between you and them, anyway."
- Mother Teresa

Wise men embrace the one
and set an example to all.
Not putting on a display,
they shine forth.
Not justifying themselves,
they are distinguished.
Not boasting,
They received recognition.
Not bragging,
they never falter.
Lao Tsu

"Don't expose yourself to criticism from people who are not able to understand your complexity. Your personal responsibility is to be yourself, to remain true to yourself. You never have to prove anything to anyone."

Maya Angelou said this: "I've learned that no matter what happens, or how
bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow." "I've
learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles
these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree
lights." "I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your
parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life." "I've learned
that making a "living" is not the same thing as "making a life." "I've
learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance." "I've learned that
you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need
be able to throw some things back." "I've learned that whenever I decide
something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision." "I've
learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one." "I've learned
that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm
hug, or just a friendly pat on the back." "I've learned that I still have a
lot to learn." "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people
will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them
feel."

"I believe in life. Your life. I believe that you
should living every minute of it with every ounce of
your being, despite the ounces of cancer which have
invaded your naughty bits. Life is your domain, and
you must not let cancer wrest control of it. I believe
in focus: getting smart and living strong. Unity is
strength. Knowledge is power. Attitude is everything.
This is Lance Armstrong.
I kick in the moment you’re diagnosed. I help you
accept the tears. Acknowledge the rage. I believe in
your right to live without pain. I believe in
information. Not pity. And in straight, open talk
about cancer. Even if it has made headway into your
nutsack. This is no time to pull punches. You’re in
the fight of your life.
I'm about the hard stuff. Like finding the nerve to
ask for a second opinion. And a third, or a fourth, if
that’s what it takes. Hey, if you've gotta bribe some
Dr. Nick or Robert somewhere to tell you what you want
to hear, that's fine. In fact, it's better than fine:
it's the way of champions. Nothing's too good for your
nuts.
It’s your life. You will have it my way.
I'm about the practical stuff. Planning for surviving.
Banking your sperm. Preserving your fertility.
Organizing your finances. Dealing with hospitals,
specialists, insurance companies and employers. It’s
your life, but you should manage it like me. I don't
have bad days. I have good days, and great days."
At this point, Lance Armstrong stops his speech and
grabs his nuts.
"Take no prisoners. Live strong."
