My Definition of Success (and other odds & ends)

My "definition" of success:

1. Did I make myself useful today?
2. Did I take care of myself today and avoid burdening anyone with my cares and troubles?
3. Were I to meet the living Jesus or Buddha at day's end, would I feel ashamed of my conduct during the day, or could I meet his gaze with the inner knowledge that I emulated his teachings to the very best of my ability?
