This Is Success kostrubala

To laugh often and love much

To win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children

To earn the approbation of honest critics and to endure

the betrayal of false friends

To find the best in others

To give of one's self

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,

a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition

To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exhultation

To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived

THIS IS TO HAVE SUCCEEDED
