What impact or mark do you want to leave on the world?

Many people want to make their mark on the world. What kind of mark do you want to make? I already know that my very existence has shaped the lives of those who I love and all those I know. As of the world as a whole, I too want to make my mark and be remembered. My name will fade after the third or maybe even fourth generation of my lineage after I'm dead. I just want to influence the world in a positive manner. I guess in order to that, one would have to be famous. Good luck me and to all of you that share my dream!!

Whatever we achieved for the family members, like building house etc... will not last long as it will fade away. To leave a permanent mark on this world I think we should die for the mass or save the mass. I also thought of making a church to leave a permanent mark after my departure.

That is a smart thing to do, maybe to build something under your name or to have your name marked as the founder of a church or something similar. At least we do affect others on a daily basis and hopefully we affect their lives in a positive way.

Positive acts will always leave a positive affect, Idi Ameen, Adolf Hitler also got permanent names in History, but their acts was not at all impressive, for the present and future generations too.

hell0 eddy! do you really like spaghetti!? 
well, there are many people who I know have left their mark on this worlds, and the most of them are famous poets adn writers, people of the art, people who have always worked to make mankind feel happier in this world.
So that's why I really think that if i can leave something on this world before pass away, then I should leave something not that material, than more spiritual, more intelectual, because as we all know, material things are temporary, and can't stay to eternity, and spiritual things, things that we have and keep in our heads/brains are actaully the ones that are eternal.
so that's why I really think I should mark the world with some book or some invention that people can use to remember the ones before them. and what made me say that, what made me choose to mark the world with such a thing exactly- well, it is one movie that I have watched during the weekend, on Sunday, the movie calls "The time machine",2002. there is an invention that really came into my mind- A photon memory- something like a huge egg, where the whole history of the world is gathered on one place- all the books, all the inventions( well, only their graphics), just everything you can imagine, and if I can really invent something like that I think it would be fantastic :)

Good Morning dear Eddyspaghetti , this is a great inspiration discussion , well the fact that already you cann have your fammilly remember you and mark theire live's in a good way , i always dreamed to be able to change the world and show them that its actually verry easy to be kind with others and help them , off course they should not take the fact that you are trying your best to help them or make theire life's a little bit easier , for granted and think that this is a right that they have ( because i have helped people before and what i saw that they think about me , made me never want to see this people , i have been taken for an idiot and stupid for tryin' to do something to change theire lives in better , ever since i have reduced the number of people i want to help , to only my familly and nothin' more , off course i got left with only two friends that they have the same attitude that i have , and i cann say that its alot more better and less exhausting this way. If i could make my way of been a helpfull person , to a worldwide scale and have myself been remembered for that , then i could say that this would be my dream of having myself marking this world , but i am already happy with what i've done untill now , and if people dont want to understand i wont go harrasing them for that.
Have a nice day dear Eddyspaghetti.
