INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE FOR SUCCESS

So what is success?

There is one answer that I like a lot. This inspirational quote for success is often attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, but actually was written by Bessie Stanley in 1905.

Success

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

If an inspirational quote for success can spur you on to make your own mark in the world, here are a few for your consideration.
