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 lived.

This is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We had that put on my brothers cards that you hand out at funnerals.(Can't remember what that is called) He died at such a young age (36) and He was a real sweetheart and would give you the shirt off his back for anyone....Thank you for this...It has been almost 11 years since I read this from Ralph Emerson...
Blessings to you for the sweet reminder of my brother....

Success is what we make it for sure.
It does not have any thing to do with fancy cars and mansions on the hill!
It has to do with making a difference in this world and being happy!
Success to you!
