success and joy

Better than a meaningless story of a thousand words is a single word of deep meaning which, when heard, produces peace.
(From the Dhammapada, sayings of the Buddha)


“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Both texts appropriated from Its all about Joy. This blog is really worth reading - Megan reminds me of a lot of important things, always just when I need to be reminded of them.
