Motivational Poems About LifeSUCCESSby Ralph Waldo Emerson
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 bit 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 to have succeeded.
I love Ralph Waldo Emerson, and I quote him a lot.
This is a short inspirational poem. I have it taped on my board in front of my computer.
