SUCCESS

To LAUGH often and much, to win RESPECT of INTELLIGENT people and the AFFECTION of children, to earn APPRECIATION of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, APPRECIATE BEAUTY, to find the BEST in others, to leave the WORLD a bit BETTER, whether by a HEALTHY child, a garden patch... to know that even one life has BREATHED easier because you have LIVED. This is to have SUCCEEDED!
