Success
To laugh oftan 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.
This is to have succeeded.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Success To laugh oftan and much; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. The first of these too, I like to do every day if I can. ^_^ But if I've done one of the other two, I've had a great day.  |
