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
garden patch |
| |
or
a redeemed social condition; |
To know even one life has breathed easier |
| |
because
you have lived. |
This is to have succeeded. |
