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 to 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.

        This is to have succeeded.

                                            ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
