What is Success?
To laugh often and love much;
To win the respect of intelligent persons
and the affection of children;
To earn the approval of honest critics and
endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give of one’s self without
the slightest thought of return;
To have accomplished a task, whether
by a healthy child, a rescued soul,
a garden path, or a redeemed social
condition;
To have played and laughed with
enthusiasm and sung with exultation;
To know that even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.

I’ve always loved this quote and it’s good to be reminded of it often, especially when you feel like you’re not very successful.
Thank you.
