Every person leaves a legacy – the only difference is whether it's adverse or favorable.
We won't be remembered for what we had. We'll realize, one way or another, that the tangible things are sometimes of little depth and importance. Our actions determine what we'll leave behind. In fact, what will be etched into the minds of others are the differences that we try to make, no matter how little.
I would like to be recalled as a dedicated person. Living life beyond oneself—being bound to a cause greater than my own—is something I have always wanted to do. Making a genuine, if not relevant, contribution to humanity is nearly impossible, but I can at least try. I can't change the way of the world or what people do, but I can do my part.
The future is obscure, and I don't have an inkling of what could possibly happen. One thing is clear, though: I won't pass without reaching my purpose—my main goal in this world.
Help is quite possibly the best thing to give, and surely the greatest thing to receive in return. And that... Well, that's the best I could do and leave behind—an imprint that, yes, I have managed to help someone and make even the slightest alteration in their lives, leaving a faint trace to their memories.
Knowing that I was able to help even one person would mean that my life was not lived in vain. And that is more than enough for me.
