you measure the level
of success of a man's life
not by how many people
show up at his funeral;
but by how many people
show up to help him to
bail water out of a sinking boat...
usually in direct correlation
to how many boats and how
many people he's helped
bail in the past!
I wish this was true. But it is not always. It also depends on the kind of people he has decided to help. Great poem man keep writing them.

I would like to translate this poem
This is very true. Some people don't ever keep score and spend their whole lives helping others. Thank heavens for those types- they keep the world going I think.
