GOLFERS' DILEMMA
"Mary, why don't you play golf with Jane anymore?" asked a friend.
"Would you play golf with someone who kicked the ball with her foot when you weren't watching? Mary asked.
"I guess not," admitted the friend.
"Would you want to play with someone who lied about their score?" Mary continued.
"No, I sure wouldn't," the friend agreed.
"Neither did Jane," replied Mary.

THE WISE WAY - Parodoxical Commandments

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred; Forgive them anyway
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 may destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people may 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 got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and GOD; It was never between you and them anyway.
