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 bit better,
Whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier becauseyou have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
