HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED? by MJZEEY

how would you like to be remembered?

    Many people have purchased this life not with wealth or position, but with deeds. Have you ever thought “What will people remember about me when I am gone, retired or absent for a period of time?” When people think about how they will be remembered, they are motivated to give their best to people and life. If you do well, praises and well-wishes will remain yours forever: if you are doing bad that people don’t want to hear your name or see you around, they would run away because of your wickedness and prejudice, you too praise that you have a great opportunity to turn a new leaf because this little sun can drying the cloth.
DYNAMITE KING
    About a hundred years ago, there was a man who looked at the morning newspaper and to his surprise and horror, read his name in the obituary column
. The newspaper had reported the death of the wrong person by mistake. His first response was shocked. He asked himself, 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 towards peace and makes people around him feel comfortable. 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.  I decide within my heart that ever though might not have a meaningful legacy to leave behind at the moment. I am attractive some that when the time comes I would have left an ink and good character of legacies will follow. It is for this reason I pick up my pen to speak out what in my mind in such matter is something what is not very common because most people do not want to think about a time when they would no longer be in existence, a time when your opportunity would no longer be needed in making decisions; a time when the thought or mention of you will bring sadness to the hearts. I want to add to the legacy I would decide to be spoken well of and forgive those people I see as my enemies because I want to be remembered with love and respect with all thing that would keep me present after my graduation or departure. If I plant sins, I will reap guilt. So we should be careful whatever we plant now, it will determine what we will reap tomorrow. The seeds you now scatter will make life worse or better, our life or the ones who will come after.
Therefore, I leave you with this thought, when I am long gone from this world and nothing in my grave, will the people left in this world even remember me at all? And if this will, what will it be for? Good or bad?
