What is Success?

[Ravish30]

What is Success?

It's doing your work the best you can,
And being just to your fellow man;
It's making money, but holding friends,
And staying true to your aims and ends;
It's figuring how and learning why,
And looking forward and thinking high,
And dreaming a little and doing much;
It's keeping always in closest touch
With what is finest in work and deed;
It's being thorough, yet making speed,
It's daring blithely the field of chance
While making labor a brave romance.
It's going onward despite defeat,
It's being lean and it's playing fair;
It's laughing lightly at Dame Despair;
It's looking up to the stars above,
And thinking deeply of life and love;
It's struggling on with the will to win
But taking loss with a cheerful grin;
It's sharing sorrow, and work and mirth
And making better this good old earth;
It's serving, striving, through strain and stress
It's doing your noblest--- That's success!

One of my husband's favorite quotes is:
"Measure your success by the quality and amount of time you spend with your kids and wife. Because in the end, that's all that matters". unknown

One of the many reasons why - I love him so much.
