BIRTH AND DEATH

FRIENDS
WHAT IS BIRTH AND DEATH ALL ABOUT?

FOR A YOUNG FRIEND

One of the best quotes on success i received was from my young friend who always keeps saying- "Ma'am, the road to success is always under construction."
So true...having asked earlier as to what my friends had to opine about success.........i received only few responses.
I would like to quote ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON here:
"That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children;who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul;who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it;who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had."
Whenever i think of success, R.L.Stevenson's quote always comes to my mind and i think whether is it also world's notion of success. Is SUCCESS=HAPPINESS?
