About a hunderd years ago, a man looked at the morning newspaper and to his surprise and horror, read his name in the abituary column. The newpapers and reported his death by mistake. His first response was shock. Am i here or there? When he regained his composure, his next thought was to find out what people had said about him. The obituary read, "Dynamite kind dies,", and "he was the mechant of death." This man was the inventor of dynamite and when he read the words "merchant of death" he asked himself.,"is hti how i am going to be remebered?" He decided that this was not the way he wanted to be remembered. From that day on, he started working towards peace. He, the Dynamite king, was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the great nobel Prizes.
Just as Alfred Nobel redefined his values, you should step back and do the same.
What is your legacy? How would you like to be remembered? Will you be spoken well of? Will you be remembered with love and respect? Will you be missed?

I simply wanted to be remebered as a loving: father to my children, husband to my wife, son to my parents, brother to my siblings, and friend to my friends. I believe that if they remember me this way, it means that they perceive all I've done and told them as an act of love.
