Evaluation and ClosingSuccess

by: Ralph Waldo Emerson

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 a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded.
