A legacy can mean anything to anyone. Someone’s perspective on a legacy today can be completely different from someone’s perspective millions of years ago. This has to do with first off, how much our world has changed, and second everyone has different opinions and views on life. To me, a legacy is about leaving stories for when you’re not around to tell them anymore. While a legacy may mean different things to different people, it’s all about one thing. It’s about the words you speak and the deeds you do that form the history you will leave behind. Whether it’s good or bad, this forms your legacy. What I choose to do with my life, the big and small choices I make in life, and what I want to leave behind all form the legacy that I will leave behind for future generations to come. As a senior in high school it is expected that I make a choice that may or may not decide what I will do for the rest of my life. Whether I choose to go to college or not, and whatever career choice I make will form a part of my legacy. Personally I believe whatever career choice is made by a person, will affect future generations. A doctor, a teacher, a psychologist, a chef, a business man or woman, a hairdresser, or a childcare worker will all show an effect. A doctor can save a life, a chef can inspire someone to keep the food industry going, a business man or woman can implement new ideas into the business world. The technology, ideas, and new discoveries in today’s time would not have come
Legacy to me means, after you die what people think of you. It means every little thought someone had in their mind when you died. It means what people will always remember you by. I want my legacy to inspire others and make them feel like sometimes the only thing you can do is give kindness. I also think quirkiness can be a great legacy too. To me, kindness and quirkiness is the key to life.
“But there is a big difference between leaving a legacy and leaving a “legacy”, through this statement it is clear that Chittister wants to set straight the path her reader is about to embark on, she wants to define what legacy it is she speaks of. The legacy she speaks of is not that of a monetary legacy rather yet, “Our legacies are the quality of the lives we leave behind’ and “It is the immaterial legacy,
Value Orientations are an important aspect to social work practice. It is critical that social workers do not let their personal values interfere with their daily work ethic. In addition, social works must keep an objective outlook on the issues they confront because values differ across cultures, race, ethnicity, etc. The purpose of this paper is to provide a critical self-reflection on my personal values.
Legacy, how we will be remembered or not, how we will be seen for future generations it is a burning ember in each of us to create a change that we could have only dreamed. My favorite quote of all time comes from the Macklemore song entitled Glorious, "I heard you die twice, once when they bury you in the grave, and the second time is the last time somebody mentions your name". This quote directly labels legacy and the impact of each of us on others in our generation and generations to come. One thing is certain in all of our lives, and that is that we will all die. During our life, we have the opportunity to create a legacy that will keep us ‘alive’.
A legacy is known as the mark you leave on the people who surround you and how they will remember you. My legacy that I would like to leave on the world will differ from every decision that I make throughout my life. There’s a poem by Robert Frost called The Road Not Taken. This poem shows how every decision that you make throughout your life can affect your legacy. Each decision that I make today can greatly affect my reputation in the future.
What does it mean to leave a legacy, to be remembered? When we hear the word legacy, many of us think of family and friends. For others, we think about the groups and organizations we have been a part of during our lives. How will they remember us when we are gone? Will they recall the things that were important to us as their life continues here on earth? Will they remember our faith, our caring spirit, the causes that we supported and the things that we held dear in our hearts? These are questions that can be answered by our legacy.
Well, this question seems too big for me. I am only an average person that does not have any significant ideas to inspire, advise, or stimulate someone to change the world or make what the world would be. The only thing I want to do is I try to do my best to become a helpful person and contribute something as much as I can to the society. This is quite simple, but I have been striving a lot to achieve these goals.
In my imagination, my legacy isn’t great. My legacy is not written across textbooks and it’s not something people will forever cherish or hate. If I continue to live the way I have, I’ll be a normal person, and my legacy will only exist to those who I was close to. The best type of legacy may not be one that makes every know your name, but one that makes you
A legacy is a something which is passed from older generations to younger generations. Something to be remembered. One example can be Henrietta Lacks’ cells who were known as the first human immortal cells. They exist to this day, thus having their own legacy. Henrietta Lacks, however, was barely credited for such cells. Which is the reason why she was long forgotten until this book was published. One participant who helped bring up a forgotten legacy is the author of the book, Rebecca Skloot. Nonetheless, I chose to write about Dr. George Gey, whom I think started the process of this legacy.
The cost of living has become unaffordable, causing most people to start or end their lives later than planned. Even if a student graduates from a high-end university with an impressive degree it may guarantee absolutely nothing in today 's society. Since the cost of living is so high, the next generation after to have no choice but to postpone retirement in order to keep a roof over their heads. With later retirement and overpopulation in the world, the post-millennial generation is not guaranteed a stable job anymore and even if they do have an amazing education, they still have the risk of becoming homeless. There is so much more to choosing a career than
Values are those things that are important, meaningful and valued by an individual, a group of people, or an organization. Whether we are aware of them or not, every individual has his or her core set of values, which consist of many different kinds of values. Each individual’s value system is different from one another because individual’s values are built up through one’s life experience, environment, and family background. Values are important to us because they reflect our personal moral standards, shape our behavior, and guide us through long life journeys. Since we live in a highly connected society, each person’s value system does not only affect one’s own life, but also affects many other people and the
There are things more paramount than money in life. There are some who live their lives with nowhere to call home. Dreaming of having a place to sleep and victual with. There are some who live their lives, kenning that the next day they won’t be able to arouse. Hoping they get to stay alive another day to enjoy the warmth of the sunshine on their face, to smell the made breakfast, and to be salubrious again. And there are those who live their lives with no family, dying to ken how it would feel to be part of a family. Some people never experienced having a family. Some people, including kids, could never stay salubrious. There are those who never experience, having a home. I believe that there are three very important values in life that we should be thankful for and they are: home, health, and most importantly a family.
Life is resplendent yet it’s not a bed of roses. Though it’s repleted with abundances of highs and lows, it has many facets of benedictions and accomplishments. There are two types of people in this world, one, who consider life as arduous and merciless. These sets of people live life as a punishment, often known as a life without principles. They lose every sense of direction and their elusion to authenticity gets disoriented in the process. On the other hand, there are those who view life as a challenge. For them life has color, meaning, and a prospect. No matter what situation they are in, their life’s motive is to keep on going because aeonianly prosperity is in their fate. No wonder an adage asserts, “Where there is life, there is hope.” The most essential values emanate from within us because they are the true reflection of ourselves. Having such morals gives people goals to strive for, no matter what the odds. Most importantly, it’s crucial to genuinely understand that these morals must come to life and should be followed consistently even if they seem blurred or unyielding at first. My own personal values lay in the conception of living a jubilant life, a life with no regrets, a life that is lived for long term achievements compared to short term achievements. This would mean living a life that is worth giving up some of the most consequential things at the peril of the future.
“The decisions you make are a choice of values that reflect your life in every way.” (Alice Waters, 2016). In light of the above, “Values are moral principles and beliefs or accepted standards of a person or social group.” (Collins English Dictionary 2017). As such, over the years, I have developed several values that would not only benefit me in the field of social work, but, would be of great significance to all aspects of one’s life.
A legacy is anything handed down from an ancestor or predecessor, for example, Brutus is a legacy of Rome. Brutus says “Caesar, now be still. I killed not thee with half so good a will. He dies.”. He knows he willingly killed Caesar and is accepting his own death, given everything that s transpired and all he now knows. This is his acceptance for his mistakes and faults, which he will find to accept his fate. Cassius and Brutus have a conversation about Caesar being crowned, “what means this shouting? I do fear the people choose Caesar for their
