What choices will you make?

Our lives are made up of a series of choices. They define who we are, what we achieve and how we will be remembered. We make these choices every day, consciously and unconsciously and rarely stop to think whether they are the right ones or not. They are the key to being a good human, to getting through our work and to create a legacy for others. What choices are you making and what will they say about you?
