Though I have been a member here for several years, so far I have yet to be able to create a thread in this forum. But, when I saw this defination of success written by Bessie Anderson Stanley, I finally saw my opportunity! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. May we each be successful!
Success
He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men, and the love of little children; who has filled his niche, and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty, or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction.
