The legacy I want

What is a legacy?

This simply means the impact or influence a person will be remembered for when the person is gone. This is often traced to the positive impact and not the negative side.

I want to ask: are people still living with the mindset of leaving a good legacy behind? I think that lifestyle left the world in the days of our forefathers. These days, even the negative impact of someone is celebrated when they are gone. An example is how politicians who treated citizens badly are still celebrated and remembered when they pass away.

As for me, I don't want to be remembered for bad or negative impact; I want to be remembered for good.

I don't want to be known by the country or the world at large...

I want to be known by my little community.

I want to be wealthy, wealthier than Elon Musk and others...

Because I would like to build a school in my community and establish free education for people in the community.

I want the free education to run for many years to come, even when I'm gone from this earth.

I want to be remembered as the first person to do that. I want to be known not just for being wealthy, but for having the interest of my people at heart and playing a big part in the educational background of the people.

I want to be remembered for how wealthy I was and how I didn’t use that wealth to play political games but rather, served humanity , and did it in my root.

The legacy I want to build is not the type that will only live for a few years after I’m gone. I want it to last longer, longer in the mouths of the people present and the ones to come. I want my establishment to keep serving humanity on a free-term basis, so that even when the system is tired and wants to close up, the generations of that time, who see the importance of the services, will pick it up and keep it running at their own expense.

Thanks!
