Pope and Life
How do you measure 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.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Alexander Pope again to the rescue as I feel so lazy to start my studying. Back to my coursework...
