You know, not everyone is rich, famous, or historicaly important. What will you leave as your legacy, or purpose for being on Earth?

I am going to leave all my inventions.
I went to the Patent Office to register some of my inventions.
I went to the main desk to sign in and the lady at the desk had a form that had to be filled out. She wrote down my personal info and then asked me what I had invented.
I said, "A folding bottle."
She said, "Okay, what do you call it?"
I said "A Fottle."
"What else do you have?"she asked me.
I said "A folding carton."
"And what do you call it?"
I said "A Farton."
She snickered and said, "Those are silly names for products! And one of them sounds kind of crude."
I was so upset by her comment that I grabbed the form and left the office without even telling her about my folding bucket.
Yours: Grumpy

I hope that the one thing that everybody knows is that they were loved. That my kids and grandkids and husband would never have to wonder if I loved them or not.
I think what you leave and give to another person dosen;t have to be money. Some of my most prized things are:
A china cabinet that was left to me by an uncle.
Princess house chrystal left to me by an aunt.
And a Christmas ornament that my best friend gave me the year my dad passed away. My grannies old dishes and a gourd that held her door open and I played with as a child.
The most prized is the peach seed monkey that my dad carved and gave to me. I wear it on a necklace when I miss him.
What is it all worth money wise???Very little!!! But to me it means they loved me. When I see these items I get a warm spot in my heart and It brings me close to them.
What will I leave?? all the above and hope that they willl remember the ones gone and not forget them.

-How about your fingerprint on the world: you were unique, had faults and talents, and existed within the history of the time you lived in....
Average? What does it matter if you were rich or famous: that is so clique. As far as historicaly important, a homosidal maniac can have historic importance (ex. Hitler)...

To live decent and honorable throughout your life is a commendable legacy. The best thing you can do is share your wisdom with the youth so that they may live a life as full and respectable as your own.

Something written down that provides some kind of insight into the human condition.

To be remembered as having been a good person, is already a pretty good achievement.
