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;
Be good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
And it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It is never between you and them anyway.
我比較喜歡的譯文(稍做了些變動),譯者不詳
人們經常不講道理、沒有邏輯和以自我為中心
不管怎樣,原諒他們吧
如果你善良,人們會指責你懷有自私和不良動機;
不管怎樣, 仍舊善良吧
如果你成功,會有一些虛假的朋友和一些真實的敵人
不管怎樣,仍舊成功吧
你誠實和率直,人們可能會欺騙你
不管怎樣,仍舊誠實和率直吧
你多年來營造的東西,有人在一夜之間把它摧毀
不管怎樣,仍舊去營造吧
如果你找到了平靜和幸福,他們會嫉妒你
不管怎樣,仍舊快樂吧
你今天做的善事,人們往往明天就會忘記
不管怎樣,仍舊做善事吧
即使把你最好的東西給了這個世界
也許這些東西還不夠
不管怎樣,仍舊把你最好的東西給這個世界吧
你看,說到底,它是你和上帝之間的事
而決不是你和他人之間的事
