"经常和大量地笑;赢得聪明人的尊重和孩子们的喜爱;得到诚实批评家的赞赏并忍受虚伪朋友的背叛;欣赏美丽;发现他人身上的优点;让世界变得更好一些,不论是一位健康的孩子,一个花园,还是一种改善了的社会状况;知道哪怕只有一个人的生活因为你而变得轻松。这就是成功。"

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Simplified Meaning:

Success isn't just about money or power. It's about living a life filled with good moments and making a positive impact on others. Think of success as laughing a lot and bringing joy to both yourself and those around you. It's earning the respect of smart people and being loved by children, showing that you can connect with people of all ages and minds. Success includes being appreciated by those who are honest with you, even if some people betray you. It's understanding and valuing beauty in the world, and always looking for the best in people. Imagine planting a small garden, raising a healthy child, or improving your community even in small ways; these acts make the world a better place. If you can help just one person breathe easier or feel happier, you've achieved something significant. So, living a good life means spreading kindness, beauty, and helping others, not just getting rich or famous.
