I like this quote from Emerson on the subject of success. It seems very human to me:
"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."

Sharing what you've learned to help soneone else.
Feeling comfortable with who you are
Having a place to call 'home'
Knowing that at least one person in the world loves you unconditionally.
Feeling satisfied with what you have.
Knowing that if you died today, you have done the best that you could have done with what you had.
