Angela Cortright of Spa Gregories will receive the ISPA Dedicated Contributor Award tomorrow for her great contributions to the spa industry. Here’s what she had to say:
One of Angela’s favorite poems from Ralph Waldo Emerson resonated with me, so I’m sharing it with you:
Success…
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
