WHAT IS SUCCESSRalph Waldo Emerson

What is success?To laugh often and love much;To win the respect of intelligent peopleAnd the affection of children;To earn the approbation of honest criticsAnd endure the betrayal of false friends;To appreciate beauty;To find the best in others;To give ones self;To leave the world a little better, Whether by a healthy child,A garden patch,Or a redeemed social condition;To have played and laughed with enthusiasmAnd sung with exultation;To know even one life has breathed easier，Because you have is to have succeeded.
