“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 endure the betrayal of false friends,
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others,
To leave the world a little 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 the true meaning of success.”
So True!

I love that definition. I had heard some of it before but never as inclusive as you have written here.

Some of those certainly. Winning respect and earning appreciation would be optional extras though.
