What is success?

To laught ofent and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critiscs
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 heathy child, a garden
patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier
because you lived;
This is to have succeeded.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON
- US poet, essayist and philosopher (1803 - 1882)
