Something to consider over the weekend:
Success
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and 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.

This will serve double duty as my Father's Day post as well, since it comes pretty close to the type of wisdom I'll one day be passing down to my kids. Not all encompassing, but close.
