And thank you for saying all of that, and for loving me, for you haven't gone unloved, or admired, yourself.

— V.C. Andrews

There are many standards to measure if a person was successful including did they fill a niche role in society, invent something useful, attain professional distinction, or achieve great wealth. A person might also judge someone a success in life if they laughed frequently, were kind to children and animals, and were truthful, loved by their family, and respected by their friends.
