Book Cover & Preview Text
...on one summer evening a long time ago in the Observatory, while she and Grandpa took photos of a beautiful star cluster, they had wonderful quiet time to talk about life. They spoke about how every person passes away at some point, no matter how big, strong, rich or poor that person might be. What they leave behind is what really matters. That doesn’t mean a large bank account or building named after them. What they leave behind – their “legacy” – is how they would be remembered. Did they help create a better world? Were they thought of by others as a mentor or someone from whom they learned a lot? Were they thought of as a kind person who shared valuable knowledge. Were they a loving person with many friends? This is what a person's legacy is all about, Grandpa explained.
