Legacy

The essence of leadership, when all is said and done, is the personal assumption of the moral duty to be proactive in building our future.

Nobody remembers the naysayers. In the end, all that endures are the builders, and in the end even the builders are forgotten and all that endures are the ripples of what they built — and that's a good thing.

Carry on. Carry us with you. Continue the revolution. Know that we are right beside you.

In everything you do in life, leave your mark. Be a great steward of the community and to society, and understand that part of your purpose in life is to leave whatever you touch better than when you found it.

Hopefully life is long. Do stuff you will enjoy thinking about and telling stories about for many years to come. Do stuff you will want to brag about.

Build a good name. Let your name radiate yourself, magnify who you are, your good deeds, your code of honor. Build your name and as you go through life, your name will serve you.

Be different, be smart, but most of all accept that heavy torch from me and my generation: be the future. Believe that within you is the ability to always make it a better place than this one.

In the end, we are our choices. Build yourself a great story.

What you put out in this universe does not die. You may be taken from this earth, people may forget your name, but your love will live forever.

You can't climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.

It is likely that human beings will find fulfillment and will be rewarded for the same qualities that they have been rewarded for for 5,000 years. And that is intelligence, hard work, honesty, a sense of character, loyalty to family and friends, and above all love and faith.

You will quickly find that true success is measured in how you play the game of life.
