The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic, and self-complacent is erroneous;  on the contrary, it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant, and kind.  Failure makes people cruel and bitter.

To laugh often and love much;
to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children;
to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others;
to give of one’s self;
to leave the world a bit 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.
