What is Success?
Success is to laugh often and much,
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children,
to enjoy 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 little bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition,
to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
That is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
