Alfred Nobel once saw an obituary accidentally declaring his death. The heading was "The man who invented the dynamite died", he was so shocked and saddened, by this incident, he thought of doing something for which people would remember him in good faith. And he introduced the Nobel Prize, which awards people who done something better for the society in the fields of Peace, Science, Literature, Economics, etc. It really makes me wonder, how do you want to be remembered as when you die?

If I get to die in old age, I would like to remembered as a respected doctor who helped millions with work in the peace corps.
If I have to die young, before I get to accomplish the former, I would like to be remembered as a hero- saving somebody.

I don't want some big headline or anything like that.Would just like to be remember as a decent person. Most of the world won't know who you are anyways so the only thing that should matter is how your family and friends remember you. Hopefully I've done some good in this world and trying to raise two other human beings to do the same. People are going to think what they want anyways, I don't try to impress everyone. Family and Loved ones are all that matter to me.

I want to be remembered as a good person to all that knew me. I want people who knew me to think of me and be able to laugh about something silly I did with them. I want to be remembered as someone who made a difference in their lives. When I die, I have told my husband and children that I do not want a funeral. I want a gathering in my home. My friends and family to have a great party..and each to take a turns telling the best story about me they can remember...I want them to be happy they knew me not sad that I am gone...

that is a tough question. I think I would want to be remembered as a loving wife and mother, hardworking, a good christian, and a free spirit just like a butterfly
