What is Success?

Today I'll like to share something good I read.

Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.

~ George Sheehan (1918 - 1993)


 



 

What is 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.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
