A TALE OF TWO CITIES
A traveler nearing a great city asked a woman seated by the wayside, "What are the people like in the city?" "How were the people where you came from?" "A terrible lot," the traveler responded. "Mean, untrustworthy, detestable in all respects." "Ah," said the woman. "you'll find them the same in the city ahead."

Scarcely was the first traveler gone when another one stopped and also inquired about the people in the city before him. Again the old woman asked about the people in the place the traveler had left. "They were fine people; honest, industrious and generous to a fault. I was sorry to leave," declared the second traveler. Responded the wise woman: "So you will find them in the city ahead."

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.
