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."

--- inaccurately attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, this actually originates with "What is Success?” by Bessie Anderson Stanley
