Good Morning Bay Trail, this is Mr. Swartz with a few words of wisdom.

So, how do you define success? Are you successful if you own an expensive car, write a best selling book, or quarterback a team to the Super Bowl?

Here is how writer Jay House defined success. Listen up--it is important.

"We claim that any person who is honest, fair, tolerant, kind, and charitable to others is a success, no matter what his or her position in life."

Well, there you have it. Today, be a truly successful person by being honest, fair, kind and courteous.

With something to think about, this is Mr. Swartz. Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours.
