I was teary-eyed to see one of the worlds tender-hearted basketball player from Africa who played 18 seasons in the NBA got injured and his career may be over. But there are millions of people who remember him because of his heart for others. He built the most sophisticated hospital in his native land. It came to my thought to asked, "What legacy will you leave for others to remember you when your prime is over?"

I don't know what kind of legacy I'll leave behind. I'm 20 years old... I've got pretty much nothing to my name (unless you count the massive amounts of debt I have) and I don't have any special accomplishments really. Hopefully by the time I die, those things will have changed.

Not much of a sports fan and glad that he built a hospital instead of spending the money all on himself. I am not wealthy enough to leave a great legacy, but I hope people will remember me for my singing and that I was a nice person. Also that I could write. So if one does not have much money and is not famous, what kind of legacy can we leave? We are here, and we have these talents. Am I ever screwed. What can those who are not famous can leave? It does not seem as much. Oh one can say that one loved their family, and one volunteered, but a legacy is something that is written in stone. It is donating thousands of dollars for others to notice. Me? I have my two talents and my books are not on Amazon yet. So what is my legacy?

I guess we do not know what others will think of us, especially if we do not consider ourselves a great one. I see so many people who can do things that I cannot, drive cars for instance, get babies, but thanks for the best response.
