sanzsseb:

  To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people

    and 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 garden patch or a redeemed social condition;

To know even on life has breathed easier 

   because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded. 

                                                 -Emerson 

Words to live by.
