What are YOU known for?

"Fortunate people often have very favorable beginnings and very tragic endings. What matters isn't being applauded when you arrive - for that is common - but being missed when you leave." ~ Baltasar Gracian

How you live your life is, of course, more important than the manner of your entry. What will you be remembered for? Surely not because you were born on such and such a day, or in a specific place. No, you'll be remembered for what you did afterward. The place and manner of your birth is as much under your control as the color of your skin when you're born, and means as much in the scheme of things. You can change neither - it's how you live that is important.
