What is Success?

         What is success?                    

  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.
