ALL THE BEST!

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED?

About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the morning newspaper and
to his surprise and horror, read his name in the obituary column. The
news papers had reported the death of the wrong person by mistake. His
first response was shock. Am I here or there? When he regained his
composure, his second thought was to find out what people had said
about him. The obituary read, "Dynamite King Dies." And also "He was
the merchant of death." This man was the inventor of dynamite and when
he read the words "merchant of death," he asked himself a question,
"Is this how I am going to be remembered?" He got in touch with his
feelings and decided that this was not the way he wanted to be
remembered. From that day on, he started working toward peace. His
name was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the great Nobel
Prize.

Just as Alfred Nobel got in touch with his feelings and redefined his
values, we should step back and do the same.

What is your legacy?

How would you like to be remembered?

Will you be spoken well of?

Will you be remembered with love and respect?

Will you be missed?
