Your Place in History  | | Your Place in History
Do you ever sit back and think about people who have accomplished great things and their place in history?
Do you ever wish that you had such a place? Is it something that you consider to be important?
Would you liked to be referred to in history as a person who has done great things to better mankind, or do you (like me) prefer to remain in the background, letting others achieve greatness, and reap THEIR rewards?
There is a person in Pennsylvania who won either $56,400,000 or $54,600,000 in a lottery held in that state.
Do you think that he’ll be remembered 100 years from now because he was a millionaire or do you (like me) think that he’ll die, just like all of us, and become an unknown after the rest of his generation passes?
Does it matter to you? Or, like me, do you wish him well and go on about your business of more important things?
Memo to self: Barack Hussein Scott … hmm, has no ring to it. How about RJMcCain? Well, a bit better, but still, I can’t produce a birth certificate. They didn’t really consider them important when I was born, in 1812. © 2008 RJScott

| | 2. Irishfrndly65 (7387) | 1 year ago | If my family and some friends, remember me I'm fine with that. I'm not a "mover and shaker", I don't have a competitive bone in my body. Nor am I a "ladder climber". I doubt I would be happy being in any kind of spotlight. I'll sit back, thanks, and just be for my family. I have a 4 yr old, what greater impact can I make?

| | 3. bestboy19 (1378) | 1 year ago | Sometimes I think I'd like to do something heroic, but I don't want the publicity that usually follows. Now, as far as the lottery winner goes. I hope he will be happy, but if he's like most people who win those things, he'll probably end up poorer than he was before he won. It's too bad, but that's usually what happens.

| | 4. crimsonladybug (1954) | 1 year ago | I am a writer by addiction and I cannot be convinced that anyone in my predicament honestly WANTS to go through life without making an impact. I think that all writers (or any artistic type) wants, somewhere in the darkest part of their pretentious soul, to be famous. Or at least recognizable.
I, in no way, want to be remembered as a writer 100 or 200 or 500 years from now. As a writer, I also have a degree in English/Literature and know how writers from the past are dissected and psychoanalyzed and I don't want to be part of that, even if I have been dead for a century HAHA. But I would love to be known now, and maybe long enough to provide some residual royalties to my family for 20 or 50 years after I'm gone.

| | 7. iamfine (390) | 1 year ago | I hope everybody in the furture would think me as a very very wealthy women, with good taste and kind heart. I am not going to buy lottery, I just want to earn money from my own hands, my widom, and my little lucky chance. When I am rich enough, I think I would like to have a company of my own, and I will goven the company orderly and keep the business prosperous. Well, there's still a long way to go, hope I will success!

| | 8. myklj999 (7262) | 1 year ago | I've already had a place in History. It was right over there...very back of the classroom in the back corner. My friend John was two seats over, and we used to torture this poor preppie girl that was stuck in the seat between us. The best thing about that class was the teacher had us draw numbers to get seats trying to separate some of us "class clowns"; me and John still wound up in the very back of the room.

| | 9. shine55555 (177) | 1 year ago | Sometimes I put myself in the history thinking I am someone in the history. That is interesting. I kept thinking if I were her what I would do in that situation or whether ia would do the same thing. Or sometimes I was thinking if I were her how would the history go, was it still the same or something different? That is funny.
