Success
By Ralph Waldo Emerson
To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and 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.

I love that by Ralph Waldo Emerson!!!! Sometimes we equate success with things that aren't really important at all don't we.
