good anyway.

honest and frank anyway.
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.
People favor underdogs but follow
only 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 do help them.
Help
people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and
you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have
anyway.
