How to Define Success


Success is what you make it to be. When you don't have a dream, you end up taking on someone else's dream. If you ever needed a template for success, Mr. Emerson provides a good starting point (remember - you need to create your own)


"To laugh often and love much;

to win the respect of intellingent persons and the affection of children;

to earn the approbation of honest citizens 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."


- Ralph Waldo Emerson
