• Success

Title: Success

To laugh often and much;

to win the respect of Intelligent People
and 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 little 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.

This is to have Succeeded.

 Ralph Waldo Emerson
