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 will 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.”

Hi! Thanks for the friendship.Your books look good!
Thank you, Sandra, for adding me :)))Borislava
Hi Debbi:Thanks for your comment, and also for the great review. RIDING INVISIBLE is one of those 'books from the heart.' I grew up with a brain-damaged younger brother, much different from Will, but who suffered from childhood-onset-schizophrenia. This enabled me to embody the character of Yancy, partly because as a kid, horses were my great escape.
This book makes me think you have been through some of the things you wrote about in Riding invisible. I have ,and your writing rings so true!
Ha, Ha, Sandy, thanks for the book recommendation. I think Graycie is living in our house! Cinda
Hi Angie: Nice to be your goodreads friend too!
