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 conditon; to know even
one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.
That is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Success
I have learned that success is to be measured
not so much by the position that one has reached in life
as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.
Booker T. Washington
Anybody can do just about anything with himself that he really wants to
and makes up his mind to do.
We are all capable of greater things than we realize.
Norman Vincent Peale
Success is the result of perfection, hard work,
learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence.
Ret. US Gen. Colin Powell
