I drink morning tea and have a small conversation with my friend and neighbour Ira. Then suddenly I see the quote at her cup. I'm amazed and the morning becomes more beautiful:
Success
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and 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 a 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
