Do Your Best

Do your best
for your own peace of mind.
Do your best,
but don't expect to be recognized.
Do your best,
in the end it's all you can do.
Do your best,
make sure you realize what results.
Do your best,
be ready to be amused.
Do your best,
but be ready to explain.
Do your best,
keep your learning eye open.
Do your best,
nobody's perfect.
Do your best,
pray that it works the way you meant.
Do your best,
pray that what you meant is what you thought.
Do your best,
let praise be a fringe benefit, not the objective.
Do your best,
know what your best is.
Do your best,
push your limits.
Do your best,
do the right thing.
