The world keeps careful score.

Emerson kept a different ledger.
He believed a successful life was measured less by what we accumulated…
…and more by what we contributed.
Did someone leave your company encouraged?
Did your work make another person’s burden a little lighter?
Did you keep your word?
Did you become a little more honest, a little more patient, a little more yourself?
Those things rarely make headlines.
Yet they may be the only accomplishments that still matter when the years have passed.
Before this day begins in earnest, don’t ask yourself how much you hope to gain.
Ask yourself what kind of wake you hope to leave behind.
Fair winds my friends
