"Everything has a crack in it,that's how the light gets in"

Recently I found myself reading all about Leonard Cohen...A Canadian born poet and novelist. After many personal struggles and world wide travel,he is now a well known world singer songwriter. His baritone voice blends pessimism,about cultural affairs and those of the heart. As well as support for the oppressed. CD's ,books and his music will surely leave some lasting notes.

What does it mean to be successful ?

A tribute to Steve Jobs
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 to 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 that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
