"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 the 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." 
                                  
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
