Give the world your best anyway

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 some 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 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 never was between you and them anyway.

— Mother Theresa

What hurts the most was even my peers at that time would make comments about my skin colour without even realising the damage caused from these words. These comments I recall, were sometimes made under the guise of humour. I was called 'budak hitam' (literally means 'black child') and even ...

Infinity

unbounded to any definitions or limits, existing but not adequately known. this entity, being constantly talked about, pulls like an unbeatable gravitational force. we are always approaching, almost touching, existing in tandem, still, not yet meeting Infinity the eventual meeting where there are no bounds
