    And what is successful, I know a wonderful man, he passed away a few years ago, worked 40 years cleaning offices, had a wonderful wife who he was married to for 50 plus years and a great family. He never had a lot of money but was happy. That is success

    But is it yours ?

    Good point! Great story! Reminds me of a poem I read long ago --

    What is Success?

    Elisabeth-Anne "Bessie" Anderson Stanley

    He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
    Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
    Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
    Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;
    Who has left the world better than he found it,
    Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
    Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
    Whose life was an inspiration;
    Whose memory a benediction.
