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 to endure the betrayal of false friends,
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best of others,
To leave the world a bit better,
Whether by a healthy child, a garden patch
Or a redeemed social condition,
To know that even one life has breathed
Better because you have lived,
This is to have succeeded.
 
~Ralph Waldo Emerson


You never go further than when you don't know where you're going.
--Goethe
