编者按:

假如人们过一种似是而非的生活,更关注人生的意义,而非赞誉和掌声,这个世界将会更加理智。 --肯特.基思


The Paradoxical Commandments

by Dr.Kent M.Keith


1.People are illogical,unreasonable,and self-centered.

Love them anyway.


2.If you do good,people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.

Do good anyway.


3.If you are successful,you win false friend and true enemies.

Succeed anyway.


4.The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.


5.Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.

Be honest and frank anyway.


6.The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.

Think big anyway.


7.People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.

Fight for a few underdogs anyway.


8.What you spend years buildings may be destroyed overnight.

Build anyway.


9.People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.

Help people anyway.


10.Give the wold the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.

Give the world the best you have anyway.


好些人以为这首诗是德兰修女写的,其实是Kent M. Keith 在 1968年写的。几十年来这首诗在世界各地流传。人们把它挂在墙上,贴在冰箱上。许多的文章,讲词都引用它,网上也在流传。它对每个人都适用:商人,军人,政客,政府官员,教会领袖,大学校长,社会工作者,教员,乐坛红星,为人父母者,教练和学生。德兰修女认为这首诗很有意思,把它放在印度加尔各大儿童院的墙上。
