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.

Thanks to Cat Party for bringing this to my attention. Such a disturbing, dull, repetitive,  personal complex-inducing publication, much of which is quite adequately portrayed here.

6. Write about the person you want to be.

I want to be happy with who I am, and what I can achieve.

I want to be able to actively acknowledge that the my personal wellbeing and health are more important than hours of work I complete in a day.

I want to be able to find the idea of an uncertain future exciting, motivational and inspiring, instead of just plain terrifying.

I want to be able to tell everyone that I love, that I love them and all the reasons why, without feeling embarrassed or shy.

As  regards appearance, without meaing to go all Pussy Cat Doll on yo' ass, if I could just form some sort of hybrid of the above beautiful and inspiring and talented women, that would be pretty awesome too.
