What is success?

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 1 friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To give of 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.

成功是什么?

笑口常开,爱心永在,

赢得智者的尊重,

孩子们的爱戴;

博得真诚的认可,

容忍损友的背叛;

欣赏美好的东西,

发现别人的可爱。

学会无私地奉献,

给世界增添光彩:

要么培育出健康的孩子,

要么留下花园一块,

抑或是改善社会条件;

尽情娱乐、笑得畅快,

把欢乐的歌唱起来;

甚至知道一个生命活得自在,

因为你的一路走来……

这就是成功的内涵。
