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.

成功的内涵

拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生　　

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，

亦或是改善社会条件；

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。
