"Our fingerprints don't fade from the ones we touch."
                                                  -Judy Blume

I'd rather leave myself behind in this world than to take my knowledge with me. Your legacy is written by what you gave, not by what you have. When you're gone no one will remember what you bought or your paycheck. They'll remember the joy and knowledge you left them. You will be remembered for who you were and how you contributed to others. Arrogance tends to lie on money and I pity those who feel the need to have it all. A chorus is not focused on how many notes there are, but how they sing them. Perspective is key in living life as it should be lived. Once we overcome the hunger for material, shall we learn to experience our lives for greatness.
