What is Success?

It's doing your work the best you can, and being just to your fellow man
It's making money while holding friends, and staying true to your aims and ends
It's figuring how, and learning why, and looking forward and thinking high
It's dreaming a little and doing much
It's keeping always in closest touch, with what is finest in words and deeds
It's being thorough yet making speed
It's daring blithely the field of chance, while making labor a brave romance
It's going onward despite defeat, and fighting staunchly, but keeping sweet
It's being clean and it's playing fair, it's laughing lightly at Dame Despair
It's looking up to the stars above, and thinking deeply of life and love
It's struggling on with the will to win, but taking loss with a cheerful grin
It's sharing sorrow and work and mirth, and making better this good old earth
It's serving, striving, through strain and stress
It's doing your noblest --- that's success
