Success
 

by

Ralph Waldo Emerson

***********************************************


To laugh often and much;


To win the respect of intelligent people 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 of one's self;


To leave the world a bit 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.
