WHAT IS SUCCESS
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is success?
To laugh often and love much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
And the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics
And endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give one s self;
To leave the world a little better,
Whether by a healthy child,
A garden patch,
Or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm
And sung with exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier，
Because you have lived...
This is to have succeeded.
成功的內涵
拉爾夫·沃爾多·愛默生陳采霞譯
成功是什麼?
笑口常開，愛心永在，
贏得智者的尊重，
孩子們的愛戴;
博得真誠的認可，
容忍損友的背叛;
欣賞美好的東西，
發現別人的可愛。
學會無私地奉獻，
給世界增添光彩：
要么培育出健康的孩子，
要么留下花園一塊，
亦或是改善社會條件;
盡情娛樂、笑得暢快，
把歡樂的歌唱起來;
甚至知道一個生命活得自在，
因為你的一路走來……
這就是成功的內涵。
