succesful life

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 the betrayal of false friends;To appreciate beauty and to find the best in others.To leave the world a bit better;wheather by a healthy child,a garden patch,or a redemed social condition;to know even one life has breathed easier because you live; This is to have succeeded. -Ralp Waldo Emerson
