Many public figures and great scholars have attempted to define the word success. I find this particular one best suit my understanding.
To laugh often and much,
To win respect of intelligent people and the affection of children,
To earn appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends,
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others,
To have 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
