' The Successful Human '...

The man is a success who has lived well,, laughed often,, and loved much;, who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children;, who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;, who leaves the world better than he found it,, whether by an improved poppy,, a perfect poem,, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty, or failed to express it;, who looked for the best in others, and gave the best he had. .................... Robert Louis Stevenson
