To laugh often and much.
To win the respect if 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.
That is to have success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
