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.
