Some say the only way you know what your life is worth is by seeing how you are remembered by those you leave behind. I sometimes think about how I will be remembered once I die. What would they say? Would I leave an impression on anyone to make a difference? Would there be a difference if I wasn't here?
I would like to believe that I have left an impression on people I interact with. I try although I fail at most attempts to do or say the right thing at any certain moment. Sometimes people only remember the accomplishments we have succeed with in our lives. Now you might not agree with me on this but I think it would be more benenfical to remember te mistakes they have made and then overcame. If the only thing remembered is the accomplishments then people will never learn from others mistakes. A very popular saying that I only recently have started to agree with is if you don't learn history and remember it you are doomed to repeat it. Obviously this is not correct for major things like if you dont remember who invented electricity that doesn't mean you will have to invent it yourself or something like that because that is just ridiculous. Now if the history is more directed to learning from others mistakes you will likely make those exact same mistakes and have to learn the lesson yourself.
Some of those around us only believe what they lean themselves and in certain circumstances I would be one of those people. Some would say I would argue just for the sake of arguing and that is not the case normally I'm right. Just kidding I am usually wrong about a lot of things. Anyway back to the mission learn what you can about others and their mistakes and you will be surprised.
