This is Success To Me!

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 to 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. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
