What's the real meaning of 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 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 have lived;

This is to have succeeded."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
