Success

To Succeed:  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 a false friend.  To appreciate beauty and to find the best in others.   To give of oneself without the slightest thought of return.  To have accomplished a task, whether by a healthy child, a rescued soul, a garden patch 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.
