| | 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
