WHAT IS SUCCESS

Ralph Waldo Emerson

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 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.

成功的內涵

拉爾夫·沃爾多·愛默生　　

成功是什么？

笑口常開，愛心永在，

贏得智者的尊重，

孩子們的愛戴；

博得真誠的認可，

容忍損友的背叛；

欣賞美好的東西，

發現別人的可愛。

學會無私地奉獻，

給世界增添光彩：

要么培育出健康的孩子，

要么留下花園一塊，

亦或是改善社會條件；

盡情娛樂、笑得暢快，

把歡樂的歌唱起來；

甚至知道一個生命活得自在，

因為你的一路走來……

這就是成功的內涵。
