So how do you measure success?

According to Ralph Waldo Emerson, measuring success is 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, a redeemed social condition, or a job well done; to know even when other life has breathed easier because you have lived... This is to have succeeded.

Your thoughts are getting deeper and deeper my friend..
Guess we share the same view right here. Life is not bout measuring how much you own but how much laughter you've made and share.

the new pepsi commercial with mariah is hotness, btw! nice seeing you on the subway the other day - was in a rush, but hope u got to wherever u were going ok:) suckcess (as i like to spell it) is measured by self-satisfaction. it's knowing you've reached a level of confidence in yourself where you no longer doubt your stability and others around you recognize and support this. - willariah -
