god, my parents, the people i love (and even the ones havent met) who keep fighting cancer! people who care enough to try and make our world a better place.
"people are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; 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 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."
