Success

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the apreciation 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.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Whole Wide World Lay in the Palm Of Your Hand.

The whole wide world lay in the palm of your hand.
Turning, twisting and revolving like a basketball spinning on your finger.
Suddenly, it stops and a strange feeling begins to linger.
The stars and sky, the truth and lies, the wishful dreams,
snow, hail, rain and sunlit beams.
Life changes in the direction you go.
The trick is not to think but to just live life and flow.
