A Successful Man

"That 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 taks;

who leaves the world better than he found it; who has 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."
