What+is+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. **
 * --Ralph Waldo Emerson **

There is no substitute for knowledge. To this day, I read three newspapers a day. It is impossible to read a paper without being exposed to ideas. And ideas.. more than money.. are the real currency for success.  [|Eli Broad] You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing.  [|Dale Carnegie]

Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire. [|Arnold H. Glasow]

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. [|Albert Einstein]

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom. [|George S. Patton]

The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people. [|Theodore Roosevelt]

Pick a quote or a poem that you believe most defines what is success and write an essay describing your thoughts. Give examples from society and from your own life to support your opinions.
