​That’s Success
 
It’s doing your job the best you can,
     And being just to your fellow man;
It’s making money - but holding friends,
     And being true to your aims and ends.

It’s figuring how and learning why,
     And looking forward and thinking high;
And dreaming a little and doing much,
     It’s keeping always in closest touch.

With what is finest in word and deed,
     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 at the stars above,
     And drinking 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!
