To laugh often and much..
To win the respect of intelligent people ...
and affection of children;

 To earn the appreciation of honest critics...
and false friends;

To appreciate beauty ...
and 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 breath easier because you have lived.
That is to have succeeded.
