TO: Me:

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. That was me 

But you loved me anyway.   

       

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. I accused you.

But you did good, and loved me anyway

Remember when  you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.

Always keep an eye, don't let them hurt you.

The good you do today will probably be  forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway, I will never forget.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.

Be honest and frank anyway. Transparency is a gift!

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.

Think big anyway. That's just who you are.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.

Fight for a few underdogs anyway. You fought like hell, I will never forget.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. I destroyed it

You built  anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. I attacked you.

You helped anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.

You gave me the best of your world, I'm sorry I did that to you

But give the world the best you have anyway. 

You are the best
