.....If you strive to make money,your fortune will be remembered . .....If you strive for glory ,your statue will be remembered. .....If you live for others,you will be remembered, and you will live for ever in the hearts of those you gave hope and love to. Which is your choice?

Hello Rose. After reading the three choices, I think that I will choose only the third one. I would love to live for others, which is more important to me because it makes life more significant this way. Money comes and goes, but if we live for others and do a lot of good deeds, we will be remembered, which can be looked on as the continuation of life even if we leave the world. Take care and enjoy your life, Rose.

Hello Rose. I didn't pay much attention to the tense, hehe. Yeah, I have a great occupation as a teacher and I have to say that it is true indeed that teachers are easily remembered by the students of different levels in the same class. I should have thought about this, but I forgot about it. Thank you for the mention, dear Rose.

I would like to live for others. If I could be of any help to my near and dear ones, I'll be first person to help in their hour of need. I would like to be remembered as the one who used to come for help, as and when required. I do not mind taking initiative, if someone is in need of my help.

hmmm...interesting...I'd love glory if it is gained by living for others. Hope that makes sense. I like to be remembered for my deeds and that I think can also bring a person glorty (if it's done on a large scale).

Hello SV.....How r u?..I guess you still have your notify off and that explains why u r missing out on all the fun in mylot... Well so you dream of attaining glory by living for others.Its not an impossible task.Don't mother Theresa,Florence Nightingale,and now sister Alphonsa belong to this category?....But it calls for a life of dedication,hardship and virtue.....And who wouldnt like to be in their shoes?..But ordinary mortals like you and me can only dream of being like them perhaps in a future life,na? After all who will look after our hubby and kids ? cannot go after glory after abandoning them na?

yes Cupid ,if statues have to be made of big people they will be remembered only every year on their anniversary ,when they will perhaps be garlanded.. But its the good deeds of our loved ones that will remain in our hearts for ever,and will make us think of them on each passing day and help us to pull along in life with a determination to make their dreams come true......

Well I know I will never be known for making a fortune, and I doubt there can ever be a statue or monument in my name. I would like to think that I can give hope to others and I do have a lot of love to share. I would certainly not want to be remembered for doing anything bad. I do my best to live a good life and to help and encourage others. I really will not mind if no-one remembers me. I would rather be forgotten than be mourned.

I was not being pessimistic I meant that I am not interested in wealth or glory, I want to do good and give hope to others. I don't anyone to be sad at my passing, I would rather not be remembered at all. It really doesn't matter to me if no-one remembers me, because I will have lived my life and nothing can change that. I don't need any sort of memorial. I will still be part of the cosmos.

oh dont be so pessimistic Paid....Giving hope and love to others is the best possible option people like you and me can opt for,rather than amassing wealth or building monuments.....And I feel the best possible option is to stay alive in the hearts of our loved ones for ever,even long after we are gone.....

Dear Paid, I will surely want my loved ones to rememeber me even after I am gone..And the only that can be achieved is by being good and kind to them.after all its said, " what we have done for ourselves alone die with us,what we have done for the world and the others remains and is immortal "......I would like to be immortal.....

Hi Rose, I have always wanted to live for others and I believe I have had some success in that. I also hope that I will continue to live that way for the rest of my life. I believe that a life lived for others is really the only life that is worth living. We all need some money in today's world, but there is a big difference between need and want. Some people live for money and will do anything to get it, but if they leave millions when they pass away, it means nothing. Glory and statue mean nothing when you are old and people begin looking to others others who are younger. Blessings.

I don't want to make money and people to remember my fortune and I don't want a statue of mine to be remembered, but I would love to help people every way I can and I would love to be in their hearts forever.

Not bad of being famous because of very rich and involved heavily in charity. But if I'm only allowed to choose one, I'll pick the last choice. I wish I will be remembered because of the help and my kindness to others. My family members who have passed away long time are always in my heart because of their caring and love. And sometimes when you think about that, it will become a good courage for you to move forward in a difficult time.
