To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children-(well if I could consistently win the affections of my nephews then that is enough for me)
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others,
To love selflessly and live spherically in many directions,
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 lived. This is to have succeeded.
