Legacy is defined as a thing left down from a predecessor. Life is all about what we do for others, providing a service for them and helping them get to the next step. Life is not what people own, but what they do for others. In life, many people want to have the nice house, fancy car, eat the expensive meals; the American dream. Do they ever stop and think about what did these people do to get these things? It’s counter-intuitive in a way thinking how we must DO to HAVE.
The things that leave a legacy are not quick fading, they do not disappear, but they last a long time. They last because it took time for them to build.
