"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 often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, at it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've anyway. You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway"

Music screams the words we&#039;re all to afraid to speak.<br /> Life isn&#039;t about waiting for the storm to pass, it&#039;s about learning to dance in the rain.
