Do It Anyway

Found this really great quote on the wall of someone i don't even know, who added me on Facebook anyway :)

Do It Anyway

• People are often unreasonable, irrational, 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 unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
• If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
• What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
• If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
• The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
• Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
• In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

--Mother Teresa

These verses reportedly were written on the wall of Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta, India, and are widely attributed to her. They seem to be based on a composition originally by Kent Keith, but much of the second half has been re-written in a more spiritual way:

The Paradoxical Commandments

• People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
• If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.
• If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
• The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
• Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be 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.

Liquid Mountaineering

Liquid Mountaineering is a new sport which is attempting to achieve what man has tried to do for centuries: walk on water. Or to be more precise: running on water. We are developing the sport from scratch. By accident we found out that with the right water repellent equipment you can run across bodies of water, just like a stone skimming the surface.

Domestic Transformer

In Hong Kong, because of the space, apartments are small and expensive. Gary Chang, an architect, decided to design a 344 sq. ft. apartment to be able to change into 24 different designs, all by just sliding panels and walls. He calls this the "Domestic Transformer"...

Phobias Workshop

Probably the most hilarious sketch I've seen since Monty Python ;-) Five patients come to a phobias workshop with phobias that include a fear of the word "Aagh!", a fear of apologies, a fear of repetition, and awkward silences...



Performed by the original lineup of Lee Mack, Jim Tavare, Tim Vine, Karen Taylor and Ronni Ancona, it was aired at The Sketch Show in UK in 2001.

Blue Buckets Society

Awesome flesh-mob in Moscow to protest against the use of emergency lights on the cars of government officials, who simply use them to drive in the opposite lane during traffic congestions...

Polar Bear

Was always wondering what Mumiy Troll wanted to say when they created a Facebook page Can the band inside the pickle get more fans than the pickle? I guess I do know now :)



The song is awesome and the video surely comes close to Prodigy's 'Smack my bitch up' in terms of "naughtiness" -=8-)

P.S. Ah, yes, I guess I should have warned you at the very beginning: Kids DON'T WATCH IT AT WORK, you may lose it! ;-)
