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 or a garden patch…
To know that even one life has breathed easier
Because you have lived
This is to have succeeded!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
