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 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 even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded
...Ralph Waldo Emerson
The IPR Prof ended the last teaching lesson by leaving us to think about what is a meaning of life. Interesting as that is, what is interesting and admirable of him is that he feels that as a teacher, it is his duty impart such life lesson to us. I think he has succeeded.
