The 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 appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little 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 the meaning of success."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson


Such an inspiring quote. Idealistic but at the same time has some truth to it. Just thought of posting it here because I know a lot of people who are at the start of their own roads to success. Happy trip!
