I came a cross this when my wife, KC came gave me this book. I think it was really because of the nickname they (KC and her girlfriends) used to give me before. You see, I used to keep saying "Anyway"... So when I saw the book and then read the contents, I discovered that it may not have been a coincidence, but rather something that just lined up, the stars, moon and planets...
The poem below, may sound a bit far fetched and to most it may be ridiculous, but when you really think about it, it makes so much sense. Especially in a crazy world we live in. Be it any religion, faith or any belief, I think that the words and sentences in this poem ultimately means to trust your heart and never give up. I hope that it gives you the motivation to follow your heart and to be a force for good in this beautiful world.

by Dr. Kent M. Keith
People are illogical, unreasonable, 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 today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
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.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do 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 have anyway.
