SUCCESS -By EMERSON

“The definition of success"

"To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children;

To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one’s self;

To leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

To have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
