I'm forgotten.

[Sammo]

We are so determined to be 'the cool guy', the guy that gets all the girls, has a nice car, looks nice on the beach, etc, etc, etc. You know the guys i mean. I'm one of them. But how many of them are there? As far as i'm concerned THOSE guys are mediocre.

I won't be remembered in 100 years, i might be remembered by the few people that i really touch (wife,children,friends,etc.) but my memory dies with them. I fade away, to less then a memory.

I become .. nothing....

Haven't you ever wanted more? To be one of the most amazing people that have walked this world? To be remembered for centuries to come. I'm sick of chasing trivial things, my passion, my girlfriends, my business.. it's all nothing.

The passion that burns inside of me is strong and it charms most who talk to me, i am a social animal and have the ability to draw crowds, my business will most likely grow in to a multi million dollar empire. My motivation is incredible, my determination unbreakable. But then what happens?

My charm is forgotten as i grow old.

My women and friends grow old and die.

My businesses are passed on to a spoilt son or daughter who never experiences what it is like to work.

I.. am.. forgotten. All i have worked for.. is gone.

Sure my life will be exciting and rewarding. But to tell you the truth, i don't think i am any more fulfilled then when i started. The problems i had then are replaced by the problems i have now, whatever problem or challenge i have seems to be replaced. Sure, i will keep going.. I have no choice. However, at this rate, i will never be satisfied. I want to do something amazing, i want to change the face of this world. I want to compete with the people of history.

Even in todays world there aren't any people who REALLY stand out. We need people who will change the face of this world.

So this is it guys, i won't rest until im satisfied.

I will learn the secrets of the amazing. I will change the face of the world. Not only that, but i'm going to take you with me.

Lets make history.

from your point( which is a very goodf one i might add) you shjould have no problem leaving behind some sort of legacy. have your company grow from multi-million to even greater heights and become a carnegie or rockafeller. just because you'll have money doesn't mean the child will be spoiled. make him work for his first car,home,etc. and then once he has proven himself, leave him the company.

if u want to elave behind a true legacy it is undoubtedly hard work, but the best advice i can give is to take your passion (not your work) and take it to never before seen heights. this does depend on the passion but should apply to most.

Lee Harvey Oswald was determined to change the world, too.

Just be careful.

Great post man it really puts things into perspective the only thing I have to disagree with you on is.....

So this is it guys, i won't rest until im satisfied.

I never want to become satisfied. I hope I always want to become better. Simply because I desire to be more than the norm. I want to be able to touch my ownself and touch other people's lives.

Haven't you ever wanted more?

I think if people would actually sit back and ask themselves that they would have to agree. It's amazing how some people don't care about expanding themselves....they seem find with going day by day.

You're right though...one day we will die and none of it probably matter to anyone outside of our families.. but it will matter to me and I think it will matter to you to.

Because we proved to ourselves that we could go out and make a change. We didn't sit back and wait for things to fall into our laps.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one thats motivated to change lives.

Great post Sam..
