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.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
¿Qué es el éxito?
Reír mucho y con regularidad;
Ganarse el respeto de personas inteligentes y el cariño de los niños;
Ganar el aprecio de críticos sinceros y soportar la traición de amigos falsos;
Apreciar la belleza;
Encontrar lo mejor de los demás;
Dejar el mundo un poco mejor, ya sea mediante un niño sano, un trozo de jardín o el rescate de un grupo social;
Saber que por lo menos una vida respiró mejor por haber vivido tú;
Esto es tener éxito.
