You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>About success, she said\u2026<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cNever lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people \u2014 your family, friends, and coworkers, and even strangers you meet along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>On giving, she said\u2026<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cSome people give time, some money, some their skills and connections, some literally give their life\u2019s blood. But everyone has something to give,\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>About human potential, she said\u2026<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cIf human beings are perceived as potentials rather than problems, as possessing strengths instead of weaknesses, as unlimited rather that dull and unresponsive, then they thrive and grow to their capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>About reading and children, she said\u2026<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cThe home is the child\u2019s first school, the parent is the child\u2019s first teacher, and reading is the child\u2019s first subject.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Finally, about family, she said\u2026<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cYou must read to your children and you must hug your children and you must love your children. Your success as a family, our success as a society, depends not on what happens in the White House, but on what happens inside your house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>Every person wants to be regarded as successful, even if he or she does not become financially wealthy.<\/p>\n<p>Barbara Bush was definitely one of the most successful Americans.\u00a0 Although she considered herself a Republican, even Democrats loved and respected her. She was a successful person because of how she treated others and how she valued relationships.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps all of us who desire success should consider following in Barbara Bush&#8217;s footsteps. If each of us strives to be a successful person, we can succeed as a nation too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Let the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging words<\/a>\u00a0in these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a>\u00a0posts help you<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">soar like an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a>\u00a0above life\u2019s storms.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Want to live to your 90&#8217;s too?<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Healthy boundaries enable success&#8230;<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/reading-with-child-eagle-near-river-bj-rae-encouraging-words\/\">With help, I can\u00a0make the most of my life!<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">You can find your talent and become a superstar!\u2026<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you enjoyed this post, remember that BJ writes\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">books<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u>common core\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">is available on\u00a0Amazon.com\u00a0and\u00a0Barnesandnoble.com.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Buy BJ\u2019s\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/child\" slimstat=\"5\">child<\/a>\u00a0you care about today!<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a successful person dies, how is he or she described?
