Success

In Blake Mycoskie's book, Start Something That Matters (TOMS), he begins his story with these beautiful words. I thought some of you might find them as inspirational as I did... 


S U C C E S S

To laugh often and love much
To win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children

To earn the appreciation of honest critics
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.
