Success...........

To laugh often and love much;

To win the respect of intelligent person

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 off one's self without the

slighest thought of return;

To have accomplised 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 exaltation;

To know that even one life has breathed

easier because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded...
