A poem to ponder...

That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children;
who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
who leaves the world better than he found it,
(whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul)
who never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty, or failed to express it;
who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had;
his memory is a benediction.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894)
