Success



What is success?
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;


To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;


To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch


or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived;
That is to have succeeded.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson~
