The definition of success- To laugh much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one's self; to leave the world a little 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. when I stand before thee at the day's end, thou shalt see my scars and know that I had my wounds and also my healing. Make like a stethoscope & listen to my heart.
