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 just want to make a correction to yesterday's post. I said "my sister and brother-in-law", but what I meant was "my brother-in-law and his wife". I hate the whole relationship thing! I will never understand it all!
