Leaving your stamp on life

    I really have no idea what I want or what I want to do in life, really.
    Do you?
    I'd love to achieve something great in life. You know, go down in history for something spectacular:D
    It would want to be something big to make an impact in life.
    How many people from the 1600s do you hear of?
    Lots of people are happy to just have a family.
    But 200 years from now, more than likely most of us won't be remembered. Ok sure the PigHead, Biggins, Outlaw Pete, Flutts, Facedicker, all probably will be immortal, but most of us will be never thought of again.
    How will you leave your mark?

    You're a mere cipher in terms of the unique aspects of an existence that is interchangeable with billions of other lives.

    A nullity.

    Deal with it.

    Or shoot somebody famous.

    Kill someone famous?

    Has to be someone famous and well-loved. eg Kill Stephen Fry = Remembered, Kill Mary Harney = Soon forgotten.

    Create your own disease and spread it around, and be infamous.

    You can do something constructive which affects many people or you can do something destructive that hurts many people.

    I guess Boards is as big as I'm likely to achieve in my life, of the two options above I hope its the former. I feel happy about it but if we were to somehow unfetter this country from the idiot libel laws we suffer under, I would consider my life's work done and retire.

    This is fitting for a one thousandth post.

    - I'd like to form a band and leave a mark on the musical world. I can play two instruments reasonably well and my lyrical ability is pretty cool as well so I reckon if I got the right sorta group together, we could go places.

    - I'd like to be a doctor. What more of a mark can you have than potentially making someone's life longer?

    - The several thousand posts I've made over the internet in the last four years are enough of a mark if I'm perfectly honest with you. Anything else would be for myself rather than for a 'legacy'.

    I've thought about it a lot and... leaving a lasting legacy behind me is not very important. All I know is that I'd like to find a girl I'm completely in love with, marry her and accomplish the first two things I listed there. Then I'd die a happy man.

    But what do I know - I'm only sixteen?

    Be the hero in your own story. Impact those that matter in a small way often.

    Unf*ck up something that's f*cked up.

    You'll find lots of opportunities, every day.

    I plan on enforcing grammar onto the youth with an iron bar in one hand and a dictionary/thesaurus in the other.
