What would be your legacy?

Mmm, if the production of children is your legacy, then so be it. However, if after having them, you use all resources available to you to create the best quality of life for them as humanly possible; while ensuring that the family enjoys engendering the love, care goodwill, discipline, and all the attributes that transform your children into productive adults, then you may have created a better legacy in life. I am not going to be judgemantal, as I think you deliberately chose to be the best parent you can to your children. Wonderful. At least, you thought about the type of legacy that you would like to create, and did something about it. Some persons have not given this subject a thought as yet!

Congrats mother. Based on your comments, you seem to have conveyed the greatest lessons about family life, duty, commitment, and how to be a productive human being, among other things to your children; from within your household. Certainly, you should be enjoying the benefits of your hardwork and dedication to family, that you instilled in your children who are adults now. Perhaps, I should say to you, well done! Given your endowments, you seem to have done your best at building your legacy- through your children.

Powerful comments indeed. Allow me to comment on your response. In my opinion, the 'notion' of a legacy should not be exclusively linked to the handing over (or begreath) of wealth to family and/or loveones. Reinforcing the point that you made earlier, the truth is that not everyone will be able to ammass enough wealth in their lifetime, and be able to leave wealth for loveones to enjoy (or fight over) when they die. Given that you are striving to create your legacy based on the development of and the sharing of kindness, love and attention to your family and loveones, then 'go for it'! Ooh, I like your 'life motto'.

You have raised some interesting points here. However, have you considered that trying to extract more out of life that is available (or possible) could be the motivational force or catalyst may be used to shape ones legacy.., even yours? Let me be the villain here. Say for example, there is a 'strange' reason why you think (God forbid) that through your actions,you may not realise everything or anything significant about your life. Even if you think that way about yourself, while you are alive, other persons; whose lives you 'touched', or the effect of your work on earth may cause them to learn something valuable in life (or about you), to the benefit of world in the future! Despite how you feel about yourself, the life you live may contribute to making the world a better place! This may be your legacy! What do you think about that?

Hi Polaroidsredwine, how are you? I think that you are in a very unique and exteemed position in life (and in your life). I think you have chosen to, and enjoyed expressing yourself by using the techniques of the 'fine arts' to do so. May I share this secret with you? I have been fortunate to live (and study) in the land of origami for a while, and while I was residing there, I appreciated the efforts made to produce such an arrangement. Perhaps, you may need to promote your handywork, especially in the 'non-traditional' market. Never mind about your legacy, because I think you are shaping it as you go along. Guess what? You are still alive; and you can still make a significant impact on the persons who interface with you and benefit from your work. Mmm, may I ask if this activity (origami and artwork) your main line of business or do you do it as a hobby? Regardless, continue to enjoy what you do, and the world will share your joy; through your presentations, ok?

Keep at it, keep working at it. Given what you said, you must have touched the life of someone in a possitive way; who perhaps, after you die, may come forward to praise you. I hope this pesron praise you for your efforts while you are alive, ok? I sincerely wish you the best in that regard.
