Best advice or quote:
“The Definition of Success:" To laugh often and love much; To win the respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others: To give of ones self without the slightest thought of return; To have accomplished a task, whether by a healthy child, a rescued soul, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; This is to have succeeded.
