(Slightly tongue-in-cheek here, but read on…)

Are you familiar with this quote? It’s the Bessie Stanley Quote, but often erroneously attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson. It’s what SUCCESS is attributed to:

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.

If you can use this in your daily life, apply to your business, to your friends, to your family, to your religion, to your physical and spiritual being, you may indeed become the most spectacular SEO that ever bore fruits on this planet.

P.S.
So, the next time you do your keyword research, write a piece of (awesome) content, hunt down quality links, interact with your clients or co-workers, give a little extra. You’ll feel better.
