i mean i don't want to just be born,live my life,and die again.
i would be NOTHING.
other generations wouldn't know anything about us.

Simply by living, existing, you leave far reaching cause and effect ripples. Every action great and small has long lasting influence on the world as it is, from a discarded cigarette butt to a Nobel peace prize. Even the wind breaking and dividing on your body to go to the left of you and the right of you will cause cascading effects elsewhere. It is only your ego that wants recognition for it, and it's not like you'll be around to enjoy that anyway ;) Just be content knowing that everyone, and I do mean everyone, changes the world dramatically.

The ego is a challenge. You will be forgotten. The percentage of those remembered is actually very small.
The best way is to be a sociopath. The world will remember you for a very long time. "Evil" deeds are remembered long after the perpetrator has passed. Every hear of Jack the Ripper or Atilla the Hun. Ever hear of Ethel from San Antonio?
