One day, your life will be summed up in a mere paragraph on a program that will be handed out at your memorial service. When that day comes, no one will care about how high you climbed in your profession. No one will care about what kind of car you drove or how much money you made. Rather, they will talk about what kind of person you were.
One day, your life will be summed up represented by a simple dash in between two dates on a tombstone. What we each do during that dash is so important.
