What Do We Leave Behind?

I was chatting with a friend on my way to work today and we talked about a lot of things one of which was what brought about the topic. He gave me this chinese adage that says"a young man walked into a restaurant to eat and an inscription at the entrance reads,go in and eat for your fathers have paid for it.He went in and ate, and on his way back he saw another inscription at the exit which read, go back and pay for the sake of your children" all i could deduce from it was the legacies we leave or that which was left for us.
When we leave this world, what do we leave behind? What are we remebered by? Do we leave a trail of tears, pain and suffering or; do we leave leave joy, peace, comfort e.t.c? What do we Leave behind?
Our legacy is what people remember about us after we’re gone. It’s what we leave behind. Part of the midlife struggle is defining to ourselves how we want to be remembered. We wonder if we have made a positive and lasting impact. Will anything I’ve done here last beyond my departure?

You don't have to be Bill gates, Mike Adenuga, Donald Trump, Leo Stan Ekeh, Oprah Winfery, Sadaam Hussein or Bin Laden to leave a legacy. All you have to do are the following and much more;
-Do something meaningful such as; contributing to the growth and stability of your immediate community through cash or manual labour, be friendly with the youths, baby sit for those who need it, start an NGO or a Charity. It does not have to be something spectacularn just something special.
-Instigate change; you can be an example to a lot of people by how you act. It could be through your actions, body language or educational qualifications. Organise extracurricular activities for kids, join the choir,join the Basket ball team and be disciplined. Teach people the meaning of team work and support.
-Be courteous; be polite, respectful, decent, apologise when wrong, avoid confrontations
