Achieving Success

When Ralph Waldo Emerson reflected on true success, he didn’t mention fame, fortune or social status. Ponder his thoughts — and your own definition 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 bit better whether by a healthy child, a redeemed social condition or a job well done; to know even one other life has breathed because you lived — this is to have succeeded.”
