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.
