Success


 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu


Calmness of mind is 
one of the beautiful 
jewels of wisdom. 
It is the result of long 
and patient effort in self-control. 
Its presence is an indication 
of ripened experience,
   James Allen



I have learned that success is
to be measured not so much by
the position that one has reached in life
as by the obstacles which had to be
overcome while trying to succeed.
Booker T. Washington




Success

To have lived well, laughed often, and loved much; to have earned respect and the love of children; to have left the world a little better— through a flower, a poem, a life helped along; to have seen the best in others and given your own; to leave a memory that brings comfort. Adapted from Bessie Anderson Stanley





Success need not be loud.
A small step changes 
where you stand.
Some victories
are yours alone 
to know.

Hello Cloudia
I love Pixie and her poem!
Beautiful rainbow and a great quotes and mural.
Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.

The photos of rainbows are stunning, Cloudia. Hawaii, it seems, has more than her fair share of them!

Tom said...

May your days be successful by your own measure.

Thank you for the non-traditional definitions of success, which I find more accurate than what the dictionary says.

Loved these photos and quotes...and will take the one by (adapted from) Bessie Anderson Stanley to my collection. Poetry!
