=> How would you like to be remembered?

[~BraveHeart~]

About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the morning newspaper and to his surprise and horror, read his name in the obituary column. The news papers had reported the death of the wrong person by mistake. His first response was shock. Am I here or there? When he regained his composure, his second thought was to find out what people had said about him. The obituary read, "Dynamite King Dies." And also "He was the merchant of death." This man was the inventor of dynamite and when he read the words "merchant of death," he asked himself a question, "Is this how I am going to be remembered?" He got in touch with his feelings and decided that this was not the way he wanted to be remembered. From that day on, he started working toward peace. His name was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the great Nobel Prize.


Just as Alfred Nobel got in touch with his feelings and redefined his values, we should step back and do the same.


What is your legacy?

How would you like to be remembered?

Will you be spoken well of?

Will you be remembered with love and respect?

Will you be missed?

Who cares when they die. They'll talk about them for a certain period of time and then forget.

I would like to be remembered as the guy who was kind and loving to everyone, even those who disliked him... i want to be known as a person that anyone could talk to when they were having a bad day or are just feeling lonely... i want to be remembered for being a spiritual soul....The reality of death is both sad and motivating for me. I attend funerals and see the slideshows, hear the stories. I wonder, what will my funeral be like?hmmmm lets see.....

I would like to be remembered as as person who was kind and helping to everyone.. I would love to see people saying after my death that he was a person who was a well wisher and a true friend.. It would be my aim to develop such character which is talked in good words behind my back..
