Those are a success

“Those are a success who have lived well,
laughed often, and loved much;
who have gained the respect of intelligent people and the love of children,
who have filled their niche and accomplished their task,
who leave the world better than they found it,
whether by a perfect poem or a rescued soul;
who never lacked appreciation of the earth's beauty or failed to express it;
who looked for the best in others and gave the best they had.”
- Robert Louis Stevenson
