Ralph Waldo Emerson

To laugh often and love much;

To win the respect of intelligent people

And the affection of children;

To earn the approbation of honest critics

And endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To give one's self;

To leave the world a little better,

Whether by a healthy child,

A garden patch,

Or a redeemed social condition;

To have played and laughed with enthusiasm

And sung with exultation;

To know even one life has breathed easier

Because you have lived…

This is to have succeeded.

成 功

如果你能笑口常开爱心不泯；

如果你能赢得智者的尊敬

儿童的热爱；

如果你得到正直评价家的称赞

经受住假朋友的背叛；

如果你能赏识美；

如果你能看到他人高尚的品德；

如果你能献出自我；

如果你能让世界哪怕稍好一点，

无论是通过培育一个健康的孩子，

还是开垦一个小片园地，

或是改进了社会某种状况；

如果你忘情游戏过，开怀大笑过纵情高唱过；

如果你知道由于你的一生

那怕只有一个人活得更好

你就可以说你成功了。
