Everyone builds Legacy during his/her lifetime and it varies
with each person. There definitely has to be some meaning and purpose for your
existence into this world. People define the boundaries with respect to their
legacy and they have the right to go far and beyond their proposed target. I
just wanted to throw some light on this interesting topic ..this topic gets
more interesting upon two way communication. I had some conversations about this
topic with my better half and also with myself and just want to pen my
thoughts.
Is Legacy planned or gradually builds through
consequences? Planning is organized way of doing things but reality is always chaotic;
since this is contradicting to each other I guess one should have open ear to
changes and adapt themselves as things evolve. As the individual goes through
ups and downs and gets more matured the determination to build your own legacy
grow stronger. Also the extent to have a positive influence on your near and
dear ones grow @ feverish pitch in this phase.
Does Profession has
anything to do with Legacy? I guess very much. I can just talk about Medicine
profession since I know what exactly it takes to become a doctor. When one
finishes high school around 17 or 18 a person who wishes to pursue medicine
pretty much starts career around 32/33. Fifteen years of struggle goes into the
making only to build a strong legacy. Ask a doctor and they will explain true
definition of the term ‘Legacy’. They make a difference to society every single
day and their answer of how purposeful a life should be will stun many people. I
just happen to read the personal statement my better half was preparing and
felt proud as well as bit embarrassed.
Being an avid movie
lover I just loved this scene from Tamil movie “Unnal mudiyum Thambi” which
talks about LEGACY:
