True Measure of a Successful Life
To leave the world a bit better ...
to know that one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us;
what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.

in your vision for your future,
and in your ability to take a small step
each day toward achieving your vision.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
