I came across this question online and I thought it was interesting. When you're gone, what do you want to leave behind for people to remember you by? What do you hope that others learn from your life? What example do you want to set? This is a flexible question; I'm just curious on what you all think.

Art, music, love.
I taught a child to read.
I planted a tree.
I painted a portrait that hangs in someone's living room and makes them smile every day.
I gave a kind word to someone that needed it.
I sang a song that resonated with a stranger & made him feel understood.
I never plan to have children but my creativity & my kindness to the world will hopefully leave a lasting & favourable impression.
Mother Teresa said "we can not do great things, only small things with great love." All the little things you do can make an impact on the world. You can start with smiling at a stranger...
Be who you are & share that with others. That is how you can make a difference in the world.

I would hope that my children will learn from my sucesses as well as my mistakes and be better individuals than I've been. I would hope that all the things I may have, or may not have done will change the people around me to become better to each other. And I would hope that someday somewhere deep inside your own heart you may think...Hey...who was that masked man?

I would like to leave a great mrk on the world, but via my children. That would make me feel I have done my job well as a parent.

I want to leave a statue, not of me, but of the noble platypus, so that long after humans are extinct a race of aliens can descend upon earth, find the statue, and mistake it for a their god.

Why does it matter what mark I leave on the world? I don't have any children and don't plan on having any. And I can't care about anything once I'm dead.

someone rightly said that we r not human beings having a spiritual side but in fact we are spiritual beings having a human experience.our body in which we live in will wear n tear n die but not the spirits within and we will alwas be here in some body or the other.

I want to leave documentation of my existence and life so that people who have similar experience won't feel alone like I do.

As a Buddha, I shall leave nothing to mark my silly passing by this way.
