From birth until our very last breath, we are faced with things that could change the course of our lives forever. Those things could be opportunities, events, or choices that one makes, but once we pass away, we leave a legacy behind us for other people to see and admire what we once were. We either leave such an impressive exemplary life behind that people look up to us as an example and respect us and try to follow in our footsteps. Or we lead such a tragic and morbid life that people use it as a cautionary tale. The choice is in each once hand.
