You wanted to know what success meant. I think you've got your answer.

"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."

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived." Wow, that struck a chord with me.

I'm tearing as I type... Not cuz of the quote and certainly not cuz I'm PMS-ing (quite far from it, actually). The bird's eye chili in my rice nearly killed me; for a minute or so, I felt like my mouth was on fire.

And how do you cure an insatiable appetite? Have a great week ahead, people!
