Success is...
atoning for your foibles and mistakes, getting the affairs of your life in order and being at peace with yourself at the end of your life.
(Motivated by the death today of Ike Turner)

Success and happiness are different. I am happy. If I become successful, I only pray that I will remain happy.

Success is the temporary contented sigh you sometimes get to enjoy in the space between a job well done and your next job, which has no guarantee of being done well.

*Success is...
Answering a "Who's that?" knock at the door and having a band member unexpectantly show up the night before playing out to go over some things.
*Going on Brian's first post that it's the daily successes he wants to hear about.

Success is...
That relief you feel when you deliver a finished product that you're happy with and at least one other person recognizes it as a great job.

Success for the one year old is when they take those first few steps and although they can't communicate w/language, their wide eyes and beaming smile radiate enough to say it all!

Success is having your teacher read out loud, to the class, your essay as an example of how an essay should be written.(Although embarrassing)

Success is Dr. Seuss,
And his incessant rhyming words,
So many are his rhymes,
One may view him as absurd.
Although his rhymes are many,
And they never seem to cease,
He's made quite a handsome penny,
On every rhyme released.
So here's to Dr. Seuss,
Who excels at planting seeds,
In the nurturing of rhyming,
For both young and old indeed.
Raise a toast to Dr. Seuss,
A perfect picture of success,
He lives and breathes to find more rhymes,
For it's a crime should he rhyme less!

Success is JPF,
It started with a man,
A man who had a dream,
Who followed with a plan.
The man is Brian Whitney,
Who took a seed and planted,
I hope we never take,
This website here for granted.
I'm sure it wasn't easy,
With storms he had to weather,
It's because of Brian's passion,
That we're all in this together! Thank you Brian!

Success is...
Playing in a tiny room for 20 people and them reacting to us as if a concert.
Not since the initial JPF Hatboro, PA showcase did I feel a crowd respond of such love and happiness.

is getting little boys to keep their socks on during the winter---not to mention keeping all of them laundered, matched and inside the house when not being worn (their socks that is).

Success is being able to look back with pride on where you've come from, to be able to view where you are with satisfaction, to know where you are going and to work at getting there with eager anticipation.
