Anyway

People are unreasonable, illogical and self centred

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 will be forgotten tomorrow

Do good anyway

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable

Be honest and frank anyway

What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight

Build anyway

People really need help but may attack you if you 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’ve anyway

( From a sign on the wall of Shishu Bhawan, the children’s home in Calcutta )

Life Goes On

Poem

Your Name

I wrote your name in the sky,

but the wind blew it away.

I wrote your name in the sand,

but the waves washed it away.

I wrote your name in my heart,

and forever it will stay.

Masa saya di sekolah rendah dulu dalam mata pelajaran English, ada satu masa yang cikgu English akan mengajar Poem atau Poetry. Di sekolah saya dulu nie kira wajib dipelajari mungkin sebab dulu sekolah Convent kot (sekarang ada tak lagi baca poem nie, rasanya kalo ada pun tak la sampai satu masa untuk poem je kan). Jenuh jugak la nak baca dan hafal poem nie dengan gayanya sekali. Bila exam tak kira la pertengahan atau akhir tahun, semasa exam subjek lukisan cikgu akan panggil la sorang-sorang ke depan untuk recite atau baca poem depan dia. Jenuh la nak ingat poem-poem nie. Bila naik darjah semakin panjang poem nie. Bagi kawan-kawan yang pandai English, nie semua tak de masalah tambah pulak yang selalu masuk pertandingan membaca poem. Tapi bagi saya dan kawan-kawan yang sebaliknya tu hmmm..... memang la seksa jugak. Tue la bila jumpa poem selalu ingat masa belajar poem di sekolah rendah dulu.
