Success
Ralph Waldo Emerson
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 redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
