Sister Chieko Okazaki spoke at our Stake Women's Conference today. What a wonderful person she is! At 81 years of age she is sharp, funny, energetic, and in that petite little frame of hers she is as large as life! The basis of her talk was "Walk in the Sunlight of Peace" (quote by Pres. Hinckley.) Here is an article she read:
ANYWAY
by Kent Keith
People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
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.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed over night.
Build anyway.
Build anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

You guys did an amazing job putting it together!
It was such a great day! Kudos to all of you!
Hey! I was searching on line for the "Anyway Creed" that she used in her talk and haven't found it. Do you still have her email and do you think she would email to me or rather to her good friend Shauna? :-)
