What is/do you want your legacy to be?

After you’re gone, what do you want to be remembered for?

  • Being a good person
  • Having children and raising them to be good people
  • Leaving behind something tangible (a business, art/writing)
  • Charitable work

If there was one word or a single trait to describe how you want others to remember you as - what would it be?

Inspiration for this thread: Toronto News: Shelagh was here

It’s an interesting read - take a look at it if you have a moment.

Re: What is/do you want your legacy to be?

I dont want to leave any legacy...I just want to go leaving an obscure name with nothing much to my credit. With legacy comes a lot of unflattering/unwanted critique, which has kept my attempts at world supremacy at bay! Yes world I am holding away my enormous talents from you cuz I am scared of the criticism. :D

As for raising good children, about time people should stop holding parents entirely responsible for their progeny's actions....a lot of times no matter how much parents try to instil good values, the outcome is solely dependent on how much children (once they are able to make their own decisions) actually follow them.

My nana abu used to say:

Duniya de vich rakh faqeera aisa baen khalon
Tu hovayn tey hassan saray, na hovayn tey ron

Pretty much sums it all up.
