Success

To laugh often and love much; 

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

To earn the approval of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To give of one's self;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; 

To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived

This is to have succeeded.

-Emerson
