To leave the world a bit better than we found it...

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to endure the betrayal of false friends; 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 that even one life has breathed easier because you live, this is to have succeeded." <Emerson>
This is perhaps the concept of worldly success for some people. Can we have that as well, as she had always wished for?
