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 oneself; 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 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。
—— 拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生
