My legacy is........
I want to be remembered as a great philanthropist. I want it to be said that even though I became rich and moved elsewhere to enjoy a better quality of life, I still gave to causes that touched my heart. I want it to be said that a cause as small as a street in my childhood area needing to be paved wasn't done by the NYC "BIGHEADS" who didn't care to pay attention to the complaints, but by me, someone who used to live in the area! I'd be the one who'd paid the construction workers to repave the street. If there's a vacant space with no buildings or establishments, I want to be able to speak to the members of the community and ask THEM, "WHAT DO YOU WANNA SEE HERE?" "WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL BENEFIT YOUR COMMUNITY?" Once I get the general consensus (ALL ideas will be taken into consideration, no matter how small, and EVERYBODY will be present, even if I have to hold the meetings everyday for three weeks, which it shouldn't be long :rolleyes: ), I'll be able to decide from the pool of suggestions what to build, remodel or renovate, as far as the residents are concerned. I wouldn't want the community members to feel like they got screwed over by someone from the neighborhood who left, never came back, and NEVER KEPT HER PROMISES!!!! I know what that's like and that can piss someone off!!!!! :mad:
This is the legacy that I wanna leave behind. It may seem like a lot, but if I keep a positive mindset and am able to accomplish my dreams of being a successful entrepreneur, then my legacy can and will be fulfilled. :D
