Legacy Walk

By -

"...In long run, we are all dead!"
-- Lord Maynard Keynes

"Become all you can in the short run, because in the long run, only your legacy will remain!"
-- Samuel Adu

"I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world"
--Jesus Christ, in John 9:4-5

Do all and what you can while it is day, when your good works can be valued, because there cometh a time when it is night when whatever you do (your efforts) may not attract the applaud it deserve (paraphrased mine).


. ...in Economics, it is called "alternative forgone" or "opportunity cost" but in real life, it is called "sacrifice"

Your success in the long run is directly proportional to what you give up on and pick up today. .
The story of every star is in their sacrifice!

While you are still very much around, pursue greatness and credibility, live for significance, became very good at what you do, be the light that illuminates, let your impact be felt in the world so that after you are long gone, posterity while be grateful that you came.

All is come for our restart, replan and restrategy. To rethink and look back at our times of yore. Our struggles, pains, successes and failures. The ups and down, the conquest…and now the crown… Covid-19 came to obstruct, distruct, destruct, distract and distort our plans and programmes. We were all perplexed and swept under our feet without our consent. The entire world stood still and helpless at the face of a pandemic. The rich, the middle class, the poor and the proper paupers, the rich and advanced nations, the 3 rd world countries, the whites and the men of colour all in awe at the accompanied bedeviling nature of a pandemic. Suddenly, social-strata or call...
