My soul preached to me and said,
"Do not be delighted because of praise,
and do not be distressed because of blame."
Ere my soul counseled me, I doubted the worth of my work.
Now I realize that the trees blossom in Spring
and bear fruit in Summer without seeking praise;
and they drop their leaves in Autmn
and become naked in Winter without fearing blame.
-Kahil Gibran
