Success
by Ralph Waldo Emerson
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;
That is to have succeeded.
