昨天整理辦公室時，在一個檔案夾中再次翻見。(怕圖檔不清楚，我把文字重打放在下面)
這些年來在面對行政事務上的挫折時，常想起這句「Do it anyway.」。文中的每一句話對我而言都如此真實，都曾如戲般精采地發生在我平凡的生活之中。
文字的底下雖印著「遠東廣播公司」(弟弟曾工作的公司)，但我不確定作者到底是誰，
無法將文字的authorship 和 honor歸給該給的人。但真心感謝有人能寫出這樣的文字，不但激勵我，也替我表達了心聲。
「知其不可而為之」是一個管城門開閉者給孔子的評價，也一直是我的座右銘之一。明知不可行卻仍然去做，是因為那是該做的事。雖然不可能卻仍嘗試，因為堅持美善的事不會因為失敗而減損它的價值。當這個世界朝著與你我期待不同的方向而去時，但願我們不變得酸苦，反倒能帶著盼望生活，微笑昂首向著標竿而行。
Yes, we are not done yet. Do it anyway.
Do It Anyway
People
are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If
you do good, some people will accuse you of selfish motives.
Do good anyway.
If
you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies.
Be successful anyway.
The
good you do today will probably be forgotten by tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty
and frankness will make you sensitive and exposed.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The
biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people
with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People
favor underdogs but only follow top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What
you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People
really need help but may attack you if you help them.
Help them anyway.
Give
the world the best you have, and you may not get the thanks you think you
deserve.
But
give the world the best you have anyway. And do it with the love of Jesus in
your heart. Because when you give all you have in the spirit of Christ, it will
be the best gift you ever could have given.
