He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;who has left the world better than he found it whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;whose life was an inspiration;whose memory a benediction.http://www.rwe.org/pages/in_pursuit_of_the_truth_of_Success.htm

Part of what Special Olympics is trying to do is break down stereotypes that still exist for people. There is still a lot of fear.
