Day 62
What Is Success Ralph Waldo Emerson What is success? To laugh often and love much; To win the respect of intelligent people And the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics And endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To give one's 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 enthusiasm And sung with exultation; To know even one life has breathed easier, Because you have lived... This is to have succeeded.
