"Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first black president who led the peaceful transition from white-only rule, has died aged 95, after a long
illness"...BBC
Mandela one of history's 'greatest liberators', dies ...Vanguard
Wait a minute !!
Do you know that an average of 154,889 people die daily? Shocked?
But some days ago it seems like it was only PAUL WAlKER that died for the day and today again the whole world is talking about just one man's death.
Then I ask myself, "why this people, what about the rest?"
After a short while, answers dawned and I summarised them all to "Making Positive Impacts"!
Today he’s gone home and we’ve lost one of the most influential, courageous and profoundly
good man that any of us will share time with on this Earth but then I deduced that a life well spent isn't judged by its duration but its donations and also that consciously or unconsciously we are all creating history and it is with which we are going to be remembered when we are gone.
Take a break and try to think of the kind of caption people will put against your pictures when you are gone.
Do you sincerely like the first caption that surfaced?
Are you really offering anything worthy of glorious remembrance?
Death to some people is a reason to not want to do more, its a reason for them to say "please jur at the end we go all quench jur" and to some of us, its a motivation to want to do more and more before it comes. We are like Y.O.L.O so we want to set a standard. A standard that will stand as our legacies when we are gone. That answers the question why Paul and why Mandela?
I will like to leave you with this question till you see my message again that "HOW WILL YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED?"
