Before we're about to end this week in history, the world mourn for the loss of a great friend, artist and the two biggest icons in entertainment. The first one succumbs to cancer and the other one found almost no life due to cardiac arrest. The sad thing about this, is that it all happens in one day. It goes to show that no one is exempted even famous people when one is about to face death's final curtain.
Now the question is: How do would you like to be remembered by those who have known you and most especially by God? What would people be saying about you today if you had died yesterday? What kind of reputation are you making for yourself? A very much personal question most of us don't often wished to answer or even cared about. I think there is nothing wrong to show some act of generosity as we open up a part of ourselves to others. I don't know if I'm the right person to blog about this but we are what we are on our own little ways we can make a difference and established a reputation not for the sake of having a good name or legacy towards this life. I think it is much more than what we instill just to boost our own egos.
The wise writer of the Bible book of Ecclesiastes said: "A name is better than good oil, and the day of death than the day of one's being born."
So how will you be remembered? If you had died yesterday, what would people be saying about you today? This is a question that might motivate all of us to improve on how we act. Yes, to be sure, "a good name is better than good oil, and the day of death than the day of one's being born."
