"Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan are both remembered for constructing the largest empires that the world had ever seen, not for the millions of people who died, or the civilisations they destroyed along the way. William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and Leon Trotsky are remembered for their great literary works, not for their moral failings, especially their terrible treatment of women. Likewise, Elizabeth Blackwell, Martin Luther King, and Rosa Parks are all remembered for the legacy they built up for future generations. "
Extracted from other sites.
My point is that we will be remembered for what we create. Obviously, we’re very unlikely to be remembered in the same way as the
above mentioned. However,we will be remembered by friends and family.
Just because one don’t become famous, doesn’t mean that what one create won’t
be significant and impacting.
What do you want to be remembered for? This is a question which I have been asking myself for a long time. Ideally I’d do it all, but obviously that never going to be possible. It seems to me that it’s important to have focus on what you want to achieve. When I’m vague on what I’m trying to achieve, I find that I drift without really doing anything.
