Success Success Success
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 condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived;
this is to have succeeded.
I used this quotation on a course and was asked to post it on the website.
It is attributed to Ralph W. Emerson - although there has been some debate as to whether he was the originator.
Whoever wrote it I think it is thought provoking for many of us in this time of market turmoil and economic uncertainty. Do we need to re-evaluate our priorities? Do we need to re-define what we see as Success?
